RARE DEER

A friend of mine sent me these pictures. Thought you might like to see them

They wrote:

"Took these photos coming home the other day. This is right off County Hwy O in Portage County, just north of Junction City.
This is a piebald fawn. It was my good fortune that it was young and stupid since I was able to get within 10 yards of it.
It ran a few yards (Photo 6), I walked up again and took one last broadside photo before it ran into the woods."

Certainly an attractive young deer, a photographers delight.

Cheers, Vince

Great pics! I've only seen one while hunting. Watched her feed around, bed down during a brief rain shower, then move on afterwards. Real special to see them. Thanks for sharing them.

Never seen a deer like that, if I did I'd probably let it go even if it was within range, would be too busy taking out my digital camara instead. Laughing

Took one with a bow a few years back. They are not uncommon here.

I saw some pix a couple of years ago of a moose with hide like that, I believe it was in Newfoundland. I've never seen either in the flesh.

White/Albino moose in Ontario are protected (only other place they are protected is Newfound Land as far as I know), can't be hunted because they are "special" well not really special geneticlly or anything just its special to the Natives traditions and its good for "eco-tourism". Confused

Pretty sure I posted an albino moose in the photoalbums.

That can't be the case in Newfie land though Dimitri, the moose isn't native to them and they killed off all the natives about a hundred years ago. I think I saw some pictures of albino moose in Alaska as well, a few years back, but I could be mistaken (it's rare, but it happens Very Happy

)
