white deer

[AtcoJG]

This has me twisted on what to do. I have a all white buck I let go last year because he only had one antler during winter bow. He is now a decent 8pt . Its State land and on my last cam pull almost every day. Would you guys let the arrow fly?  I just feel like I might regret killing something so amazing looking

Not sure why you wouldn't?  From strictly a genetics standpoint, you are doing the local herd a favor.  Do you know if it is piebald or true albino?  The eyes and zero brown tell that tale.

Wouldn't even second guess taking that shot.

[SPEARFISH]

I wouldn't shoot.  I let one go a few years back.  No regrets

Is this a pic of him in the snow?? Lol

Public land...someone will shoot him.....meat tastes the same. 

But....old Indian lore is ....if one shoots a white deer.....he won't get anymore deer......but this is NJ, your bound to get another deer at some point w 6 months of season!!

Shoot it and don't regret the opportunity at a special trophy 

[Ringtail]

If you won’t I will

But for real tho it’s really about doing what makes you happy. I know I would shoot a white deer. We had one on our property last year. A 6pt. The landowner saw him when he was sitting one night in October and opted to let him pass. A few weeks later we found him dead on the side of the road with a big pink X spray painted over his beautiful white coat. Everyone that knew that deer was devastated. I would’ve much rather seen him on the wall than to see him that way.

I'd let it go on about its business. Just think the poor guy has a hard enough time being different.

If you don't then someone most likely will.

Shoot him if not pm I would love him on my wall lol but what ever makes you happy

Piebalds look cool but they are not good for the herd.  Shoot them, and feel good about it.
