Would You Shoot An Albino Deer?

[DriftingSand]

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?

In Illinois it is illegal to shoot an albino deer.

If you were in a state where it was legal who would you do?

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.

That's a big rack where you come from?

Probably not.

The problem with that is, if you don't shoot it and you tell people you saw it, nobody will believe you!

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.

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.

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.
