Re: White deer
Very cool, I'm glad their protected. Every once in a while one pops-up out in the Sutter Buttes. My buddy took a picture of the last one he seen while he was out checking on some gas wells. When I first looked at the picture I didn't even notice the regular deer in the background.

Re: White deer
Ever seen the white ones in the Seneca Army Depot on Seneca Lake NY? Smack in the middle of the fingerlakes a herd was fenced in when the depot was built many years ago, they're supposedly the largest population all in one spot in the country (or maybe world, I forget).
Cool looking animals.

There are quite a few hybrids South and East of Seneca Lake, and I've even seen a piebald doe as far South and East as Newfield. We tend not to harvest them, electing to let them breed instead. We want to see them increase and thrive in the local, general population.

Re: White deer
A guy I bought my bow from has shot a few to "get them out of the gene pool", which I believe cuz the deer in his area have some nice genes

I use to live on Seneca Army Depot. We use to hunt on base every year. The deer weren't albinos, just a different breed. Eye color was brown and some of cross bred with the regular white tail making a mix or patchy deer. They were quite a trophy if you harvested a great buck.

Re: White deer
As one can see, opinions regarding the intrinsic value of the variation can vary considerably. My view is, it's a big world, and there's plenty enough room for differing opinions (and, perhaps, deer coloration variations, too...). I wonder what the viewpoint was behind hunting the carrier pigeon to extinction.
See <span style="font-style: italic">The Last of the Curlews.</span>. I was about eight or ten when I read it, and it seems to have stuck with me as one of many varying viewpoints that have caught my attention from time to time. I'm no tree-(or whale, or birdie) hugger. My views of conservation were formed when I was a Scout, and they are defined (for me) as wise use of resources, not irresponsible neglect. But I have some issue with the intentional extinction of a subspecies..., and I am currently the president of a conservation club.

Re: White deer
I wouldn't get too excited, the white deer don't taste any better than the brown deer.

Thats an assanine reason to shoot an albino deer. The albino genes are recessive by nature, and even when they do present themselves, they dont harm the animal's antlers or taste.
We've had a few albinos pop up on our ranch. Sadly, they never make it. Eagles or predators always end up nabbing them while they're young.
