Can't shoot them here. They are protected. Although the deer in the article is technically a piebald.

My hunting buddy did. That is a front yard in Brentwood, right off Granny White Pike.

My step-dad killed a white 6 pointer many many many years ago. He said he new it wasn't an albino due to it's black eyes and it had a couple of spots on it's back legs. True albinos will be solid white and have pink colored eyes. The residents can get upset if they want but the hunter broke no laws. KahrMan is right that deer is a piebald deer. As long as it's not a true albino deer I will shoot it.

Deer are everywhere. What would possess a man to kill such an uncommonly rare animal? I feel safe in assuming they won't taste any better.

I have no true gripe as long as the law on the book is not broken, but I can't see a reasonable explanation as to the why.

I saw this deer on Wilson Pike near the park a few years back and pulled over and took a few pictures of it as well. Just glad it didn't dart out into traffic and went on into the woods.

The "hunters" in this scenario must be stupid,pissing off wisconsin folk in the winter can turn into mayhem....leaving camp then coming back,like ron white says u cant fix stupid......

very disappointing im pro hunting but anti goober.....that sux.....

I live right behind Crocket park and have seen the white deer a few times very close to the back yard, beautiful animal.
We're thinking about putting a lick or even a feeder out in the yard to get a bit more deer traffic but they seem to be pretty content with the peaches, apples, and what have you.

It's funny, we have six or seven fruit bearing trees in our yard and I have yet to sample any of the fruit. The deer get them before they're ripe. I'm not complaining mind you, I think it's awesome to go out back and have my morning coffee and see wildlife ten or fifteen yards away.

There are several white deer in Crocket park. I used to walk the trails there and would see them fairly regularly.
