An 11 year old boy shot an albino deer recently using a crossbow. Although I can understand why a boy his age would be super excited to bag a deer I'm a bit torn over whether I would personally shoot an albino deer or not. If bagging a deer was my only means at putting food on the table then I would likely kill it without hesitation but if I was just on a recreational hunt I don't think I would. Only about 1 in every 20,000 deer is born is albino.
What's your opinion?

A rare albino deer was taken by 11-year-old Gavin Dingman in the state of Michigan. He shot the deer with a crossbow on hunting trip with his father and is receiving a mixed response across social media outlets.
Where I come from, meat's meat. I have cousins who are hunters. They are very indiscriminate when it comes to the color of their deer, though they don't shoot the does (female deer) which is pretty common practice.
Thats weird...there's a reason why you aren't allowed to shoot bucks over doe in most counties.
