Hopefully, I don't get tankered. Thought this was kinda neat...

    No tanker. Very cool. Here's the other side of that coin. These pics are from the Big Bend section (before sub-forums) several years ago. Don't remember, but I think they may be Flashes.

    Also from Wisconsin, the deer herds in and about Buffalo county are stitically larger than average.

    I heard that black deer (melanistic?) are far more rare than albino deer.

    That white one was not a true albino.

    And not mine magot, but here is a grab shot out the car window of one of our Big Bend oddities.

    They're all bad to the bone IMO. Per the video I linked, the white ones in Wisconsin are all Albinos. Some have pink eyes, noses, ears, etc - some do not but are still considered albinos. At least according to some smart dood in Minnesota.

    Great photos Flash.

    Go on Zillow and see how much deer hunting land is going for in Buffalo county WI............

    It's like waterfront property.

    That is a Piebald.... The Wisconsin deer are albinos, the black on is Melanisic.

    True albinos have pink eyes though, I guess it is a simple name and easy to apply. What else would you call them? :shrug We have those white squirrels we see here in Florida and Georgia, but they have a dark patch somewhere on their bodies.

    Great stuff Dave. We have one similar to this one just south of you on the tree farm. We have watched him grow from a spike to a nice 8 point. My brother nor I wants to shoot him because he deserves a full body mount and that aint cheap.
