Albino Buck Marshall County

[Boone25/06]

Does anyone have pictures of the albino buck that was hit in Chapel Hill? It has been around several years and has had pics posted on here before. It was hit by a car this year and the state took the deer but I was shown a picture of it dead and it was a very impressive buck. I will see if I can get a picture to post but was wondering if anyone had one or more info on it.

Wow, what a beautiful deer. That would make an awesome mount, shame it was hit by a car and not killed by a hunter, although albinos are not legal to kill here.

There used to be a albino doe down at Dale Hollow State Park.

It's a shame it was hit by a vehicle. That is a beautiful deer.

That sure is a beautiful buck! I may be wrong but it looks more like a piebald instead of an albino. A true albino has a pink nose and eyes.

Such a beautiful animal. A shame it was hit by a car. When it happened there were several pics on Facebook and instagram.

It's hard to see from pics but I got to see other close ups of it and eyes, nose, and feet were all pinkish white. Only color on it was forehead from rubbing trees and tarsals glands

Personally, Idk why it's so bad to kill an albino. I don't really get why it's illegal here. They are beautiful creatures though.

It does have brown on his head and his eyes are not what I'd call albino .

The Brown came from rubbing.

A friend has a hunting video with a pure albino buck.

What a beautiful animal. Ok, I'll ask....how/what makes an albino buck? If you say a buck and a doe, we can't be friends

Is it just a genetic thing that happens?
