It was in January of 2007 that we captured this image, but I can't seem to find the thread from 3 years ago.
 

We have not seen this buck in over 3 years and assumed he had expired.  Well in mid July, we took a ride at dusk around the fields surrounding our hunting land.  The very last field we checked just before it gets too dark to see.....guess what we saw????
We pulled up to a very secluded field and just off the road at about 60 yards is the ALBINO!!!!  He did not stick around for more than just a few seconds and we couldn't tell just how big he was other than BIG.  It was a very cool end to the night as we saw far more deer than we expected too and some sizeable bucks to boot.

This past weekend, August 20, we were clearing trails and putting up a few stands and decided to take a ride near dusk again.  This time we brought my in-laws and our buddy.  We didn't see nearly as many deer as last time.  We suspect the full moon and a clear night was the culprit.  We'll we were running out of light and decided to go check the secluded field again.  As we turn the corner about a 1/4 mile from the field, my brother-in-law says, "Ready to see the Albino?"  I said, "Sure".  Not actually expecting to see him.  We pull to the field and I look to where he was before and actually see an 8-point standing there.  Then my brother-in-law says,"@$&@....there's the albino"  He was on the opposite side of the road about 50 yards away.  I got the binoculars up and managed to see his MASSIVE body and huge antlers as he lumbered off the field.  He didn't stop or pause, just kept going.  He wasn't alone this time and he pulled the 10 point and 6 point that was with him off the field too.  The 10 point stopped at the field edge and gave me a very nice frontal view for 10 seconds or so.  The 10 point was outside his ears and by my novice judgement was probably in the range of 130" to 140".  I only mention size because the 10 point was dwarfed by the Albino in body size and antler size.
I have never seen a larger deer in person, let alone that deer being an albino.  
When we first saw him in July, we thought he was big but had nothing to compare him too.  Now compared to a very nice 10 point, we know he is huge.
What a sight to see, and to have my in-laws and our hunting buddy with us all the better.
You would think that we would have brought a camera....yeah right.  Now I just want to see him while in a stand.

sounds like a fun hunting season coming up.

That's the stuff dreams are made of!

Are albino deer legal to hunt in your state?  It is illegal to kill them here.  Might want to check to avoid nastly legal issues.  Hope you can take him.  He would make a really nice mount in addition to all the meat he would provide your family.

Albino's are illegal to hunt in Wisconsin.
 I just want to see him up close and personal, what an experience that would be.
Besides I would be more afraid of the locals that know he is around!!!!

Perhaps he needs a girlfriend. Somebody he has something in common with. I see a love connection in the future...





Seriously though, I know they are genetic mishaps and all, but it is really cool to see one. This piebald is 4 1/2 years old. She has a brown nose and that's it. I have passed on her many times. This year she is gonna drag a giant 10 pointer by me to thank me    Awesome buck!

I hope that you get a chance to take him if that's in your heart to do so!!

Congratulations!!! You are truly blessed just to have seen something that awesome with your own eyes.

I got excited when I saw an albino doe so I can imagine how it must feel to you as your looking at him in person and up close.

God bless,Mudd

cool!!!!!

I would be thrilled just to get a photo of him!!I'd love to see him,don't know if I'd shoot him.

That awesome Jerry! If you get some pics of him please post em up!

I really do not understand why states make it illeagl to hunt albino deer, although this one seems to be a nice deer, they are genetically inferior and not good for them to breed into the herd.

I second what Danny Rowan said.
