There is a HERD of white deer at Pt Reyes National Seashore, north of San Francisco.. a former landowner there (they sold the land to the park service) said her family IMPORTED the herd from Europe during the 1800's, and they are thriving.. we saw them grazing under a full moon on a backpack hike into the mtns above the seashore, still inside the park - beautiful and ethereal!
The albino mutation is often associated with close inbreeding, so it could be an isolated herd that isn't getting enough genetic diversity from other populations.
scott burnhan Ya, not sure what they do anywhere else, but in NC they are undesirable and considered management deer. ou would def not get in trouble for killing him here. Not to mention he would look bad ass as a full mount in my living room haha.
In the late 80's, there was a beautiful white Buck seen frequently by boaters along the banks of Grayson Lake in Kentucky. We enjoyed looking for and watching the "Ghost" deer. Do not know if he was an albino, but definitely magnificent.
You are indeed blessed to have had that experience ... just seeing it would be enough. You were fortunate enough to have been able to photograph it. Wonderful!
@BlancBaily I don't know what the bug up your ass is but I can tell you now that I hope YOU are the one pursuing me when the time for me to be hunted by anyone.
onelove With other words you are saying that he is hunted now because I prayed for him Not to be hunted? That is a complete misconception of philosophy. Just because I wish for someone to be safe does not mean that individual is not safe because I wished for him to be safe. You listened to Esther Hicks and you don't think for yourselves people. Man begin finally to question things. And begin to truly love.
onelove I wish you the best, too. :0) Be always careful how you word yourself for jokes or anything else because language and metaphors or any type of wording does have either a beneficial or a negative effect on the readers. Market psychologists have exploited this situation for decades. It is not funny to make jokes about hunting because hunting is murder and torture. This subject can never be made into something funny. If you care about the animals then speak out against hunting. Get into protecting the animals. They need our political and legal help.
onelove I have talked to many people during my last 20 plus years of activism. I understand that there is a wide range of people from A to Z and there are many shades of grey in between. Not all people of any type of group or sectation are exactly the same. I see that you are willing to listen and I appreciate that very much. If you are interested in ethics read the books by Dr. Peter Singer on ethics philosophy. It will be eye opening and help you progress towards a better understanding of sentience. I also recommend the books by Pema Chodron. And I recommend the books by Paul Watson. And also the books by Dr. Temple Grandin.
Nicki hatesdogs In ten years or less the average deers teeth wear down to nothing and the deer starves to death. Pray deeply for his teeth so he doesn’t have a long and painful death you moron.
Wow, a 27 inch spread? Amazing! There's been some research in to why hunters are reporting smaller and smaller racks on their catches. There's so much pressure on hunters to bring back the biggest bucks they can find that they are taking the best genetics out of the gene pool before they can make a real impact.
This is a great video and what patience and determination to capture a once in a life time event several times!!!! I have been a hunter for thirty years and nothing has ever came close to such a magnificent animal. Deffinately a favorite video and thanks for the great reporting behind the deers history.!!!!!
Wow I was born and reared in Wisconsin and I have seen my fair share of Deer, but never one so majestic and amazing as this. Thank you so very much for sharing this. I have yet to see my first albino deer...in person. I hope this deer breeds and lives a very long life. Thank you for only shooting this one with video :)
We had a white stag near where I'm from. I saw him a few times, as did a some friends, but then nobody spotted him for a couple of years. We thought perhaps he'd died or been killed, which was a shame. But then, driving through that same area, I happened to come across three hinds (females) with a couple of young deer between them - all white :)
I am a Hunter and growing up in NW Georgia I have seen 1 in 30 yrs. I watched him for 1 hour eat lay down for a bit and chase a few does. Unfortunately at the time a camcorder was as big as a small television. So no actual proof. I didn't shoot the beautiful deer. But never seen him again.
The White stag is a spiritual animal. That being the fact i would never even think of hunting the damn thing. No god fearing person should ever even think of karma or smack from god.
@@Ka-kz2gu in Michigan we would take them out to stop the spread of it they look cool but they can have less of a quality of life it’s a deficiency not a blessing
what a beautiful deer Im a huge hunter and would have to pass on that one, he is just so rare and such a majestic looking animal I would stare at him too long to think about pulling the trigger, great video
Not one of a kind. But, breathtaking, none the less. Was just south of Nashville, TN. headed to Florida from Indiana. Wanted to pull over and check out the wilderness... An ice storm started and they started shutting down off-ramps. We were stuck. while waiting, we took a hike in the snow. We saw a small herd of white-tail and one mule. NONE of us saw the white buck until he got up. He was about two years old and shined so brightly white exactly like this one. We watched for two hours!! 1985
Yesterday afternoon on my property in NSW Australia a herd of dear came out of the bush to graze and have a drink at the dam, one was pure white first time I have seen a wild white deer my daughter said she saw one a couple years ago in the same place so I,ll get a camera ready to try take some pictures 30/10/2017
There was an albino white-tail buck close to where I grew up in Pennsylvania. Saying they get singled-out by predators at 2-to-1 clip, relative to normal deer doesn't really mean much, since most places, they have no natural predators except humans, after about a year. And it's illegal for humans to harvest them. Still, the odds are stacked against the albino their first year, and they probably do tend to be on the tough side. I've never heard of a runty albino.
ive watched one run across the raond and run into my woods. stunned me a little to she such a white white tale deer, That right there, is a beautiful deer, i would love to raise one as a pet.
out here west that thing would die in the river bottoms from wolves and bears. in the mountains in the summer spring and fall, probably would have many things chasing it
We have a wild herd on our property of about 30, a doe, and her off spring for the past 16 years have markings similar to a pinto pony, very striking, especially when the fawns also have their spots.. Have not seen a white deer here.
I mean just wow you know life is short and sometimes stupid but things like this makes you believe how lucky you are to see this you are one of 7 bilion people to see this! It is just amazing! Like this deer everyone is special in there own way life is always good you just have to think about it! Thank you god for these amazing creatures! Amazing!🦌⚪️💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Once when I was kid I was read the book called White deer for school :) (It's Bosnian book I am from bosnia so... :)) I never were thinking that white deer exist... MAGNIFICENT ANIMAL!!!! I love wolves but they are... WOW... I hope that they will survive in world like this :)
If you listened to exactly what was said, this was not a "typical" white deer, as we know them. This was an "ALBINO", (as it says in the video title). That is an extremely rare animal to begin with. Further, it lived to maturity without being killed. Again, extremely rare. Further, to0 have lived as long as he did, and to attained such magnigificent size, is nearly unheard of!! All told, YES!! This is a most amazing and "One of a Kind" Animal indeed!!!
That's an absolutely incredible story, I love the fact that your not allowed to hunt them in some states, that gives the deer alot better of an opportunity to spread his genes and make more albinos, I wish pa would outlaw hunting them
As astonishing as these Albino organisms may look, their beauty always put them on list of carnivores' menu. Their distinctive colour is the biggest menace in their survival as it makes them much more prominent and visible to predators. Lucky that such a unique animal still thrived in wild for some good years.
Why do some weirdos feel they have to give videos such as this a thumb down? the title is a fairly strong clue as to what the video shows I would have thought.
My mom said that there used to be a white deer that would come onto our front yard when I was little. She loved to see it out there. But one hunting season, a hunter decided that it was smart to stand just off our property and shoot it while it was in our yard! Needless to say, mom wasn't happy at all!
My bro hunt deer all the time and his biggest deer is a 18 pointer and it was 269 lbs but this one is still special because of its unique age and color
Any deer that can survive despite being whiter than a Klansman in bleached robes must be pretty hardcore. The fact that this buck was rarely photographed gives you a sense of how good he was at keeping a low profile. Trophy or no, some animals are just too special to harvest. I wonder how many hunters held their fire when they encountered him? Given how wary this particular buck was, just getting a photo seems like an accomplishment in itself.
Actually, a TRUE albino of any species is extremely rare. Very white deer are often mistaken for albinos, especially when they are young. They are as rare as 1 in 300,000 or greater. The eyes are usually the true tell-point of an albino animal. My Grandma lived next to an African family with a daughter who was white as snow with bright golden hair. The rest were all very dark skinned. It was powerful for a 3 year old to witness. She was stunning to behold. Google it!~
This is the 1st time I've ever seen what was only a story all my life. Wow! My native ancestors thought of the white buffalo as sacred. I wonder if they would've considered this deer in the same way?
@BlazeTheCatFan1995 Was the deer you saw 9+ years old with horns from here to Munich and weigh close to 300 pounds? That's what makes this one "one of a kind" ; )
ITS THE SPIRIT OF THE FOREST
Spirit taste great!

Must of been nice 🦌 🌙
The albino mutation is often associated with close inbreeding, so it could be an isolated herd that isn't getting enough genetic diversity from other populations.
As avid of a hunter I am, I would let it pass. Such rare deer should be allowed to get to old age.
Yeah right
That is a management deer if I ever hear of one haha! That sucker would be on my wall for sure!!!
C.R.E.A.M.
And you'd be in jail, in Wisconsin, where you would belong.
WachdByBigBrother albino is a genetic defect I dunno why the state would want them breedin into the herd
scott burnhan Ya, not sure what they do anywhere else, but in NC they are undesirable and considered management deer. ou would def not get in trouble for killing him here. Not to mention he would look bad ass as a full mount in my living room haha.
When an albino-deer got this age, I don’t find it good to kill him.
This would be better to see how long such an animal can survive in the wilderness.
Beautiful, especially with the white velvet still on his antlers, making him look like a ghost or spirit. Just beautiful.
In the late 80's, there was a beautiful white Buck seen frequently by boaters along the banks of Grayson Lake in Kentucky. We enjoyed looking for and watching the "Ghost" deer. Do not know if he was an albino, but definitely magnificent.
What a beautiful animal!
You are indeed blessed to have had that experience ... just seeing it would be enough. You were fortunate enough to have been able to photograph it. Wonderful!
Avid hunter here as well. I would let him walk. He is a beautiful deer and to kill something so rare just wouldnt sit right with me.
I'm glad that you say and think that😊
Someone will kill it
@BlancBaily I don't know what the bug up your ass is but I can tell you now that I hope YOU are the one pursuing me when the time for me to be hunted by anyone.
@BirdBaily As if you don't buy meat from the store.
@BirdBaily 🤡
Thank you for sharing this. A beautiful sight indeed.
I deeply pray that he will Never be killed.

there is no way I would even think about drawing my bow back on that one

I think a lot of hunters agreed with you.

OMG. This video gave me the chills. What a gorgeous deer. I am so lucky to come acrosse your video. Thank you.
Wow so beautiful! That's about as close as you'll get to seeing a Unicorn.
Lol

exactly what I was thinking 😁😁

Puikiiiiijggffdd$
I was looking to see who was going to pull a Harry Potter reference to this one.
I'm a hunter. I would pass.
Good call Calvin...Same here.
same
calvin Baochue
Finally a hunter w/ good sense....geez wat is wrong w/ the rest of u??!!!
Pass on them all and point the gun at your own skull you freaking wack job
@@Ka-kz2gu in Michigan we would take them out to stop the spread of it they look cool but they can have less of a quality of life it’s a deficiency not a blessing
Stunning animal, must have been shocking to see it in the wild in person.
what a beautiful deer
Im a huge hunter and would have to pass on that one, he is just so rare and such a majestic looking animal I would stare at him too long to think about pulling the trigger, great video
I rekon you’d be a piece of shit to say anything other than that of course.
wow, that is one amazing deer!!! not only is it albino, but it has a killer rack

There are quite a few white deer on Edisto Island in South Carolina. I've seen two, a stag and a doe.
WONDERFUL AND BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!!!!!!

on my bus I'm 12 years old BTW and I saw a albino doe twice in pennsylvania
i grew up with this Albino
we are both 37 now!
That's great. You were really privileged to see that.

VERY GOOD video!
I wonder if he ever mated...
He's as white as a ghost! But beautiful...
The one's you are asking about are called piebald. There are some that are darker as well and they are called melanistic.
thats a 1 in a million deer , nice !
Wow! It's amazing how long he survived! He must've installed securities systems all over his forest. X3
thats some pretty good camouflage
@Robsquatch that is in seneca new york. I think this buck was in wisconsin
This is what you call AWEsome.
Sweet buck, pink eyes too! Would make a great full body mount.
@FireClaw1234 true, however what does one do with the skin and antlers?
So beautiful ♥️
it makes it one of a kind because it was the first albino monarch. thats why
That's really amazing. I'm so glad you managed to document his changes over time. Do you know how old he finally was when he died?
It's a spirit animal, very sacred
Kinda wish the surrounding community had given him a name. So his legend could be better shared.
Thats gorgeous :P Is it true tht the albino's are part blind?
@BlazeTheCatFan1995 Was the deer you saw 9+ years old with horns from here to Munich and weigh close to 300 pounds? That's what makes this one "one of a kind" ; )

truly a beautiful animal. that is one deer i wouldnt hunt if i saw it.
