I was doing some deer watching the other day and I was shocked when this doe came walking out to eat some corn!

Man! if it was a day earlier, you would have had a perfect shot with a gun, and you probably could have gotten it done with a bow too.

I've seen her 3 times this summer, and I'm not gonna shoot her. She just too beautiful to kill, I'd like to see the fawns she'll produce

if she does have fawns, the chance that her fawns might be albino or even piebald is greater because she already has the gene for it.

same here, thats to rare and awsome to see, id let her walk and hopefully spred her genes and make some more albinos, plus its illegal in iowa to shoot anything albino

I wouldn't hesitate to shoot it. If that defective gene gets spread through out the herd, the only ones happy will be the 'yotes, dogs, eagles, cougars, and whatever else prey on fawns. A baby deer has it hard enough starting out, try hiding when you're snow white in the summer! In a few years you'd be saying; "What happened to all the deer we used to have around here?"
