Weird stuff.

absolutly, it is just a genetic default.y wouldn't I shoot one. the deer and elk will end up dead anyways,Shoot it, get the pictures mount it on a wakll and ask the departement of fish and game if they want the body. If u don't somebody else will or another animal wll eat it.

In Illinois it is illegal to take all white deer, but if I had the opportunity, yes, I would shoot an albino.

That is wild.

albino's need to be removed from the herds because they are a genetic freak subject to all kinds of disabilities and diseases.
clolor variations are just that-nothing more.

I would have to shoot them too, to save the future of each of the breeds. They are still beautiful, but must go!

For some odd reason this reminds me of a canabal joke. A tribe of canabals ambushes a circus troop. The tribe is sitting around their campfire later and one guy passes a roasted clown thigh to his buddy and says, "Try this. Does it taste funny to you?"

I would shoot if I could afford a full body mount and i could display it in a sporting goods store for lots of people to enjoy. As long as it was known that it was my trophy

yes, the albinoness is only a genetic defect, and people think that they are rare, but it's just that their natural camo is gone, so the are easily spotted by prey

Yea..these are some neat photos, but I would take them as a trophy.
In Michigan, "Pie Ball" game is legal, but Albino is not. This has discussed before on this blog, and I don't understand if they are inferior to the species why not take them out? I would like to have an Albino Black bear rug!

If it is legal it is food.

YES def. they would look great on my wall haha, but the fact is that if u dont take it, then some other animal, or hunter will. And Its not like its a sub species that will become extinct. Its rare like a 10 pound bass. TAKE IT.

no we have a albino doe where I hunt in Fla she is solid white, I have seen her now three years in a row while turkey hunting never while deer hunting.

Nature on her own does some beautiful things .. altho I would have nothing against hunting these rare creatures, sometimes the unspoken agreement just to enjoy them while they are around is all that Mom needs to encourage her to produce some more jewels to share with us.

True albinism has proven itself to be unable to significantly contaminate blood lines (Take a look around.) If albino animals were not harvested they would still be very rare. If you see a true albino (pink eyes and white fur) shoot it if you want to. No matter what you choose to do, your decision will not determine weather or not there will be a significant albino population in the area.

I have shot steel gray coyotes, and missed a black that my buddy shot.
In Ohio the DNR wants white deer shot to prevent the pollution of the gene pool. West Virginia doesn't want them shot.

all tastes the same to me

the albine turkey is beautiful.so is the diffrence taste in the white ones or are the same.i never heard anybody say boy that albino deer sure was good.

My cousin had a nice 8-point albino whitetail mount in his living room for a while. He almost was run out of the neighborhood because of it. The mout's now in the back bedroom where nobody can see it. A shame. Genetic mutations are rare, but predation on mutants is usually the way that nature culls these animals. I'd feel obligated to take it out of the gene pool if I saw one, no matter the species. That's as long as the season was open, of course..

heck yeah id shoot one

I would rather allow someone else to see the rare sight of albino deer or any other animal. Shooting one jsut doesn't seem right.

I agree that the albino animals need to be removed to prevent them taking over but i wouldnt shoot it unless it was trophy standard, a oddly colored trophy would be the coolest thing in the world (#10)

Nice bird that would be the ultimite turkey except bigger :-)

I am not to sure about this one. The coyote I might if it is already on my land. Otherwise I would just shoot pictures of it. The others though I might have to say that I would only shoot pictures and track them throughout the year to try to keep a log of their activity and movement. Yes they may be killed by other hunters and animals, but I do not think I would. However, it is always a different story when you get out there and you are faced with the position to choose to shoot or not.

Meat is meat, for A'that.

i would definately shoot an albino, such a cool trophy to mount

Just because it's white or whatever color doesn't mean it's something that is endangered or a species that needs to be protected. A deer is a deer, color doesnt change it. If it's a trophy, take it.

I'd kill it and grill it.

I would not discourage anyone for shooting a albino because of the bloodlines but myself I would have a hard time to do so just because of how rare they are.

no I would not shoot. I think it is bad luck! just lick the guys that shot the two albino deer illegely thay got caught.BAd luck!!!! plus thear nice to look at.

I have the same stance as if I saw a Bigfoot. A picture of it in the wild goes great beside the mount.

where i come from its a legend where if you kill a pie bald deer (white and brown) you will die within a year. its a seneca indian legend. my father had a friend who had a heart attack three months later

That is rare animal and neet so I would just leave it alone. But neet pic.

Sitting here I say I would, but out there where it counts, I don't think I would.

Nope.

A healthy adult albino animal has already beaten so many odds.

I would be pretty pissed if I saw one and didn't shoot it and 2 days later someone else did shoot it.

No! I don't really care for bear! I'd leave it well alone and wait for hunti ng season to come around then i'd shoot it but like that no way!

Heck yea I'd shoot one...finding a piebald/white/black/red/albino anything is an amazing trophy,truly a once in a lifetime,heck,maybe a once in 3 or 4 lifetime kinda trophies,very rare and beautiful,and I agree with mosta the people here,I would be very very tempted to have to get a full body mount

I would because they're probably going to die quicker than a normal animal anyways.

I would probablly shoot one of those big bulls there at the end if I could afford a full body mount.

THAT IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COOL!!
