However...I saw this story today about a hunter shooting a completely white albino deer.

I was just curious, but I think if I were out deer hunting, I'd probably let the rare white deer pass by and not shoot it (other than maybe shoot a few pictures). It's so rare that I'd at least think twice.
I had an albino 8 pointer on my place about 7 years ago that a neighbor killed,they did a full body mount on it and it is located on a big plant ledge in Howard's Place restaurant in Falmouth,Ky

I personally had doubts about shooting it because it was neat to look at,but the truth is they are bad for the gene pool and also are poorly protected from predators,they stick out like a sore thumb in a cedar thicket. There is still an albino doe down a couple farms the kids see on the school bus and there are several piebald deer at Kincaid Lake State Park here in Pendleton county.
Reality is that its better to remove them from the herd.
