Would You Shoot An Albino Deer?

[HereWeGoAgain]

I don't believe in trophy or sport hunting. Only when you need to survive is hunting ever justifiable, otherwise let your fellow creature live. As for proof in seeing such an animal stated in the OP, you can take pictures and not do any harm.

Than you have no idea about starving deer.

Only in self defense, if we both had guns. Otherwise, what is the point? By the way. What is the point of this thread?

 

[DriftingSand]

With a rack like that? Most definitely.
A doe? Nah....

It would sure make a nice trophy for the man cave but I still think I would let it go and wait for another. I'd take a picture for sure. I would certainly shoot it if my family depended on the food.

I dont trophy hunt anymore unless it's unusual or outstanding.

With a camera, yes.

There is no excuse for trophy hunting. None.

Buy Viagra instead.

That's a sad photo. Poor kid, growing up with no values.

Learning to fend for ones self is a GREAT value and hunting is a wonderful sport. A deer's main purpose in life is to become dinner. However, I also enjoy God's creation and am respectful of the nature that He created. I don't believe in killing just for the sake of killing. I only believe in taking what I can and will use. No more and no less.

What's the point of this thread? It's really not too hard to figure out. You can find your answer in the title.

Regarding albino animals...

Some years ago I was driving a dark and desolate country road at night. I had slowed my car in order to cross a creek bed when I noticed something to my left.

It was a huge snow-white owl headed straight for my window. It stopped its flight, hovered, looked me square in the eyes- then vanished in the night.

That was the most majestic display of nature I had ever witnessed.

 

[jon_berzerk]

yup

Mary...I generally respect you opinions.
But when it comes to hunting you need to educate yourself. Every state in the union has specific rules when it comes to deer hunting for a reason.
It's not about slaughtering deer willy nilly,it's about maintaining a healthy deer population.

 

[DriftingSand]

I would shoot. Meat is meat, and I don't make exceptions over something as trivial as color when it comes to hunting for food.

If I lived in the woods and survived off of the land then I would likely shoot an albino deer if I was in need and winter was setting in. However, I've hunted more than once when I had plenty of food in the freezer and really didn't need deer meat that badly. In that case, I would probably just admire the uniqueness of the animal and watch it run off. Another deer would come along eventually.

And if you're like me you had no urge to shoot it......

I'd shoot it,have it mounted,and eat the rest.
If I didnt the next guy would.
Besides,you need to take them out of the gene pool...it aint natural for a reason.

You may have a point there.

That is correct.

However, I did have time to ask it a question.

Who?

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?

Albino Deer: Kill Them or Leave Them?

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.

Albino Deer Kill Them Or Leave Them

HE KILLED BAMBI'S FATHER!

 

[Politico]

Always.....step on my property wearing a white deer suit.
Accidents happen.....

So who appointed you Lord God Supremo over gene pool evaluations?

Got a long-form certificate?

So you're in favor of albino deer breeding and becoming a target for predators?
What a heartless bitch you are.

Still not an answer, is it?

It is unless you're a lib who doesnt understand how nature works.

I see. So you ARE Lord God Arroganto. All hail His Presumptuous Rump.

No he just understands the fact that albino animals don't survive in the wild.

Ummmmmm!!!!

Hunting for a trophy is a good thing? Eat what you kill.

I would especialy take an albino deer. That's a hell of a trophy.

In Illinois it is illegal to shoot an albino deer.

In IL it's illegal to do just about anything.
