Title: Albino Deer
Post by: Firstlight on October 30, 2008, 04:56:41 PM: Has anyone seen any Albino's this year. Blacktail, Mulie, Whitetail. There has been a couple of them seen in W.C. Years ago in Sudden Valley there was a awsome 3 point that was full albino. I will try to dig up a pic when I get a chance. ;)

Seen them walking accross the field north of the road towards the river just below the church two years ago. The one I seen was all white though. Also seen 3 other Albinos couple on whidbey island and 1 up the crown main line.

Post by: Schmalzfam on October 31, 2008, 07:53:08 AM: I'm wondering if someone got him because, we haven't seen him since. We saw a nice buck on Francis this year next to the house they have been building..forever, and it was in the trees on the bordering property. I noticed they have been doing some work at the end og Lundgren(?) Road. It goes to the flats at the bottom of where all the new houses are. I am curious to how the deer that are there will react, I figured it would push them up and we would see more. I have seen a nice big buck in the fields down there, last year.
