Albino Down!!!

[hogsniper]

So a buddy of mine called today and told me to come over and look at his deer he harvested....Well i got there and it is half white...Just a spindly 2 point but is the coolest deer I have ever seen!!!  I will have to get pics in a little while!!!

[hogsniper]

So its not a true albino but is a very very unique buck!!! Wish I had taken it...I would be out a few thousand to get a life size mount done on it!!!

[hogsniper]

These are just cell phone pics but they give you a good idea...

weird! what happened to the neck?! Grats!

[hogsniper]

He shot it twice!!!   As you can see in the neck...lol

[blmathis12]

what a waste of a awesome hide!

[hogsniper]

He is tanning the hide!!!! Kind of made a mess of the neck but it will still turn out very neat.....

[saylean]

Sometimes 1 shot just aint enough...kind of like vodka

neat piebald buck.

cool.

[MooseStock]

Those are actually called "Pinto" deer...not a true albino but some genes in the system. I have taken or seen several somewhat the same but not with as much marking. I did see one true albino 2pt. taken in the greenwater area over 20 years ago and I saw a true albino doe on the Snoqualmie treefarm about 15 years ago on the hoof when I was hauling logs out. It will sure make a nice and extra special trophy tanned hide and conversation piece.............Les

never herd em called pinto's always piebalds but it makes sense just like the horse huh?

[blacktailer]

They are technically and scientifically referred to as Piebalds.  They are commonly referred to as Pinto's or Calico's.  Verbage aside, that is one cool looking deer and one to remember

[skinzner]

i know its legal to shoot a piebald but i heard its illegal to shoot a true albino, does anyone know

Ive seen three deer like that. Two in Columbia county Oregon back in the 70's and one in the Washougal unit a couple of years back. Cool looking animals.

If you want to see one like that just make a trip to Fox Island. In all the years of land surveying over there i have seen several like that.

Beautiful animal. Congratulations.
