Albino or Buck?
just thought id ask yall what you would do..
last winter after a morning bowhunt i went back to my grandpas house and we climbed in the truck to head to his bank, (30 minute drive). we went all was well, started on our way back when i saw something very interesting. just off this busy road in a cut corn field about 8 does were feeding. Keep in mind that we were driving very slow. outta nowhere an albino doe runs from the woods into the field and i was shocked to say the least. what shocked me even more was when a big 8 or 9 point brute (prob gross 140-150)followed her closely and trailed her across the field. this was right during peak rut and i was wondering, if you were hunting there, which would you shoot?
i vote albino doe cuz those are alot more rare than a 8 or 9point round here.

i think in some states you can shoot albinos but like here in illinois you can't. As for me id take the buck like said before she could just stop so you can shoot her to. iv had that happen before. plus i believe doe's travel alot less the bucks do theres a good chance you will see her again.

Good to know, although the odds of me ever seeing an albino deer are slimmer than hell, now I know not to shoot one if I ever have the chance!
I guess even before I knew the laws I would have said the buck and let other outdoorsmen have the once in a lifetime opportunity to see an albino deer, although many of the idiots that hunt the same public land as I do would probably blast it on sight.
