ok all my hunting friends

:shocked::hun:
But by losing their natural camouflage: they ARE more visible to the predators that are hunting them.
They see the World (largely), in black, white, and shades of gray...
White: stands out! It would be like painting your Spyder Fluorescent Green...

Save the white deer, but that's just me. And for all here that seem to think albino deer are weak and inferior, not true. It's also not true about the white making them stand out to their predators. Animals don't see the world through the same lens as humans. And if it were true albinos are more susceptible to predators, it seems to me that being white might help them blend in during the winter months.:dontknow: Animals hunt more by size and movement over color of prey.

And a side note, I just love white. Such beauty and elegance.

When I get home I'm going to embed a picture of my cat, her name is snowflake. You can probably guess what color she is.

Soo, if animals can't see white, why do whitetail deer have a white underside of there tail? It's to warn other deer of potential danger.

Why do Jackrabbits change their white winter coat back to brown during the spring? Remember according to
Protectthewhitedeer, it's unnecessary. :banghead:

Take a ride to Sampson state Park in Central New York. Enjoy the Navy/Air Force museum there. Drive a couple of miles north, on the right side of the road it will be all fenced in for a few miles. The old Army Base. You can see all the white deer you want, if you hit it right. Used to store - well that doesn't matter I guess.

I just looked. In Wisconsin it is illegal to possess a white or albino deer carcass unless having permission from the DNR.
