He's Back!!!! Albino Monster........w/pic

It's even illegal to possess an albino deer in TN. So if someone did find him dead, they would have to leave him.

Wonder what is the rationale behind this?

I really can't imagine a competent wildlife biologist coming up with such a rule.

I'm probably wrong but.. didnt some high official or his wife have one as a pet and someone shot it? and they got a law passed against it?

I've seen a big mature albino buck but not one with that wide of a rack, very impressive deer. Too bad some lame and probably nonhunting lawmaker in TN had to unreasonably protect these white deer from being removed from the gene pool.... if it were legal and I killed a deer like that, I'd have to take out a loan to pay a taxidermist for a full body mount. And i never take out loans for anything.

Wow....just wow!

I don't think wildlife biology had anything to do with this law at all. It was sausage-making by the Legislature - some state senator probably had some lobby group call and write letters until he proposed a law to protect their neighborhood albino deer, and somehow it passed. Making possession illegal was just a way to prevent people from circumventing the already-stupid law. (i.e. Checking the deer in in a bordering state and keeping him).

WOOOOOOW What a deer.

Very nice! Wonder if he will pass albino genes to his offspring?

 

[Howa]

There is at least 1 albino doe also but I havent seen her since about April.

 

[LA man]

Simply awesome. Man he would look good on my wall, or somebody elses wall

 

[BHC]

Such a stupid law...

 

[SES]

Wonder how many deer hunters don't even realize it's illegal to shoot an albino deer in Tennessee?

Far as I know, this law is pretty unique to just Tennessee.

It is illegal to harvest albino deer in 13 states.

 

[JCDEERMAN]

That's an awesome deer. Too bad you can't shoot him!

 

[BluegrassDan]

COOL!

good deal on not taking out loans for anything.

Awesome deer! A guy at work showed me that same pic after he got it in an email.

 

[spitndrum]

its a shame someone cant kill him

 

[redblood]

its a shame someone cant kill him

i disagree. there are tons of deer to kill. plus, the only reason that he is so big is that that "dumb law" allowed him to reach maturity
