I have never seen one in the woods. But there was one checked in opening weekend here in southcental Indiana.
Ronnie Hubert has a full body mount of one he killed a few year ago. I think he got it at Patoka. It sure is beutiful.I have always wanted to harvest one. But they are few and far between.
That is one awesome picture.........

Jeff, that's absolutely beautiful, why would anyone want to shoot that?
It's like where I live, in one spot on the Island, where we ran a field trial in the Spring, there are some completely black snowshoe hare. The pack was running one and they must have a tremendous amount of scent.. the gallery and the judges could not believe that they were running this hare. And found it to be a special treat to ever see one, as they have been beaglers for a long time obviously. Anyhow, the hounds ran it for about 4 hours to exhaustion, and it died. One of my buddies took it and is having it stuffed. But they are predominant in that particular area.

That deer is still on the teet, why anyone would even consider shooting one that small whether albino, piebald or whatever is beyond me.

How do you figure it is still on the teat based on that pic????? Looks like a doe to me. Maybe you're an expert at telling deer from pics taken at 200 yards.

no arguement please but if that is an adult doe I want the monster doe behind it. I am all for killing anything you eat. I have killed rabbits smaller than that albino ha ha
