I "had" three albino deer here at the house around twenty years ago . I live within about 600 yards of a four lane road . If I'm not mistaken I heard thru the grapevine that all three were killed at night standing on the high bank of the highway by "ethical hunters" spotlighting .

I'll bet if the Game Wardens who now have the word Conservation Police in their title would us a stuffed albino/piebald deer they could catch five times as many poachers. That would be a great idea for them. What poacher would not want one to brag on the next day, and make him a"thurty-point-buck" to boot (do you remember that song?).

That was 25-30 years ago . The MD DNR had some quite realistic Sika stag fakes they put in strategic places and nabbed quite a few in Dorchester County MD .

They did that with whitetails too and nabbed quite a few of the local boys who thought that all the deer there belonged to them.

I think I met quite of few of the local rouges when I hunted there . Couple had articles written about them in sporting publications about the awesome whitetails they stuck with bows in Dorchester and Talbot . But the story on the street was they’d popped them with 22 MAG’s from their crab boats early in the am on the way out and would pick them up on the way back in .

I wouldn't doubt that one bit. Those old school watermen would kill each other to catch the last crab or striper in the bay.

Those of us who have been hunting for double that amount of time in Virginia still call them Game Wardens for that is what they are. I don't care how long ago they changed their name (it was 16 years ago, 2007), they will always be a Game Warden. They also peed away tens of thousands of license dollars changing the name from Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) to Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR); uniforms, vehicles, signs, paperwork, website, ad infinitum. Last time I checked, a fish was not wildlife.

Got a couple new pictures today, September 2nd, showing the spots are going away on the fawn and the doe is starting to get her fall colors. I couldn't get a good picture of the other fawn.

I'm planning on getting some more pictures in the coming days if the deer cooperate.
