I had a special moment this morning on my way to our hunting grounds for the first day of PA rifle with my father. We were tooling down the back road talking about the different deer we saw during archery trying to determine the different bucks on the property. I saw a deer up ahead and told the old man to be careful cause there's a deer right there. He said "No I don't think it is." I replied "It sure is but, hey it's albino." My father noticed that the eyes were reflecting green not pink, which made us both exclaim in unison "It's a white deer."
I've been hunting for 25 years. I've seen two piebalds but no albinos, never thought I'd see a white one. I didn't even think they existed outside of the Seneca base. I can safely say, that little doe was the most beautiful animal I've ever seen. My brain just didn't want to believe it was real.
I didn't see a deer in the stand all day and the goofball neighbor shot a deer I'd had my eye on. This was still one of the best hunts of my life.
