As a hunter, I want to disagree with whoever said that hunters do not care about the lives of wildlife. I, myself, am an animal lover, but I also love hunting. Do you believe that our ancestors were bloodthirsty monsters just because they hunted on a daily basis? I didn’t think so. As hunters, we give more to wildlife conservation than any other group of people. A lot of the money spent on hunting licenses and on game tags every year goes directly to preserving the various species and making sure that they thrive. Without hunting, as someone said already, the deer, elk, moose, bear, etc, populations would explode and they would all die because of food and space competition. Only a certain number of tags are given out every year. The number is based on how many deer the land can provide for. They lower it to that number, then no more tags are given out. Without hunters, these beautiful albinos, of which I refuse to even consider aiming at, would have starved to death long ago. Please, read more about something before you accuse it of being no good. Thank you.

To those debating the authenticity of the photo: who cares? Do you want a nobel prize for not trusting everything on the internet? But to not trust anything would be cowardly after all, it saves ever having been deceived and life without some amount of chance isn’t quite living in my eye. There’s a vast margin between critical thinking and paranoia, you don’t always have to choose the later. Pam, not all hunters are assholes, the majority do it to preserve the species by spending their hard earned money on tags so the money goes to fund preserves and research. That ensures that these fellow creatures on this planet aren’t completely wiped out by lack of regulation. I understand where you’re coming from and killing an animal as wall furniture, especially one of these rare beauties, is pathetic in my mind. But I dunno, I guess supporting cows spending their lives crowded in a cage never knowing freedom, raised for the sole purpose of sating the hungry wolves in the neighborhood Safeway is a much more humane choice. At least wild game breathe free air. Death is just another necessary extension of life that no matter how our emotions play into the idea cannot be denied. People have a fear and lack of understanding of that concept and that is where emotion takes control; how they manifest it through their beliefs and choices is varied. But not trying to lecture anyone. Absolutely magnificent deer though, a very rare creature. Have yet to see one like that out here in Montana, let alone two.

We have seen the albino deer in Father Hennepin State Park, which is just a few miles from Waukon Minnesota. It is rumored that the buck goes into the park every fall during deer hunting season. I guess he knows he is protected there – smart deer! Anyone can see the white does almost any day just by driving through the park. They are very tame and dont seem to be afraid of people. I hope they stay in the park where they are protected. They are so beautiful!

I hope the true location is never revealed. Why, so another asshole can shoot the remaining deer?

Well after several veiwings of the photos i still dont understand them. Ya it is something small but the trees in the back just dont match up. the surroundings are the same but the placment of the trees are off. Look at the first two. the large tree in the back you can see the entire trunk but the other pics the trunk is covered by brnaches. then if you look at the little bare tree in the first two on the right it is the same as the one in the other pics. These photos looked docketered. I would not belive the authenticity of them. No matter how much you say they are real. I belive the deer are real but the photos i dont think are.

Also to Anonymous. Hunters care more about the outdoors and wildlife than any other group in the world. Hunting deer and other wildlife is VERY necessary. Without hunting the deer population would literally explode out of control. The animals would soon deplete their food sources, and our food sources, and soon die of starvation and disease. Not to mention how many would be killed on our highways every year. The cost of property damage would be in the millions, wait a minute, it’s already in the millions! Go ask a farmer if deer affect hid crops. He’ll tell you that if it wasn’t for hunters, he wouldn’t have any crops. The DNR in Michigan hands out doe permits to farmers like throwing candy at a parade. They are trying to find ways to make hunters take more deer every year. So like Tim said, open your ears and listen before you speak.
