I am 65 years old, have spent many more days in the woods than not, but have never seen an albino white tailed deer until yesterday, Jan 15, 2012, in Durham, North Carolina. The sighting lasted 30 minutes. Four attentive regular brown deer accompanied and seemedly looked after the albino. The brown deer watched me for a movement that would verify their instincts. I did not move. The deer was beautiful. I hope to get a photo in the future…. without intruding.

We have an albino deer living on our farm in Keswick, Virginia. We first spotted it in the early summer as a fawn, and she/he stayed with a group of deer all summer and into fall. It has been spotted once or twice in early winter, but we have not seen it lately. We shall see.

I saw a white deer in the woods along the highway tonite in Columbus, Ohio. It was standing next to a standard white tail deer. I never knew there was anything other than a standard brown.

On the way to school this morning my 15 year old daughter said there was a white deer in a field we drive by every day. I told her she was nuts, pulled a U-turn and we went back to look. I was floored to see an all white buck! We could not get close enough to see if his eyes were pink, but we could not see any other color variations on him. I would love to hear opinions on this as we are not hunters and don’t know much about the deer we see in our neighborhood. Lehi in Utah.

I saw one in Crete, Illinois, taking a back road to a friend’s house. While thinking about God and life and salvation… stepping out of the trees was a huge white deer with red eyes. Albino. I stopped the car and it stepped out into the road. Very close to me. About sixty feet. Walked slowly and with ease… leaped into the next property, over the ditch. So so beautiful. Its funny how we see albino animals as special and albino humans seemed to be pitied.
