Looks tasty. Last I knew it was legal to shoot one, so good work!

let us have a feast. yum yum yum

Baaaaaaaa- Lamb is good too!

I agreee, road kill would be an extreme issue.
Let's make the preemptive strike boys! Put your trucks into 4 wheel drive, because we are going into the fields!

frogger, I bet all the anti-hunters eat some kind of meat that was killed, they always have to complain about something, God put animals on earth to eat, infact if any of the Anti-hunters read the Bible, God did butcher a lamb.Also yes please get me some jerky too.

It all makes sense now - I was wondering why Brock was buying a case of white spray paint last week!

somebodyelse- I would say Brock is 6'4". Yes he is a big guy.
I agree shoot it. The law says you can. It is one more that wont run out in front of me because it is stupid. I prefer jerky please!)More will see the deer on a wall that way!

I couldn't shoot any deer. Maybe with a camera but thanks for those who do it for me and like I said some jerky please and thank you!

Can any of you "anti hunters" imagine the road kill on the hwy if they didn't hunt deer. I am sure we wont run out so don't fret.

Unfortunately, if he wouldn't have shot it it's highly likely someone else would have. While it may have been legal to shoot, it's more than just a little sad that the Indians might venerate to legendary status a white buffalo while we would simply kill a white deer like it was...Scuzzlebutt ("It's coming right for us!") And as for the argument put forth that the deer was a "genetic bnormality"--why, that's the way evolution works!

We upset the balance of natural selection by being an out-of-proportion apex predator, but often only because we can lure and bait deer and carry the tool of a high power rifle in an attempt to selectively kill trophy animals. Without our technological tool advantage, we'd have a hard catching and killing a fawn (though we might bag a baby rabbit in the nest). The natural predators--cougars, wolves, coyote--would likely cull the weak and the old, not kill strong "trophy" bucks in their prime. Perhaps over time the herd itself would get stronger, and perhaps CWD would be eliminated (or at least reach a balance point) naturally as well, without our expensive, wasteful, absurd "help." It seems the world was just fine without us, and we've done little to prove our real positive worth to it!

As for, "Is the deer that small or is the hunter that big? All of the people on here who think their "valuable opinion" really matters should, if they see this guy somewhere, voice their opinion to him. I bet nobody would have the balls to do that. You would rather hide behind your computer and talk crap about somebody you don't even know." --posted by (ironically, and apparently "hiding behind his computer" as well)-"somebodyelse"! Why, there's a hypocritical comment, and spoken like a true "sportsman", isn't it?!

"In a misguided attempt to prove he can kill something and impress his uncle, Stan kills Scuzzlebutt. Unfortunately for Stan, Jimbo is less than impressed, telling Stan that he will always be his nephew but that "some things you do kill and some you don't." Stan doesn't understand, since Jimbo tried to kill Scuzzlebutt earlier in the episode. Ned states that he understands the folly of guns and drops his rifle, which fires, killing Kenny. Finally, the boys decide that hunting is stupid and go home to watch cartoons." -Wikipedia entry on "Volcano" episode of South Park.

At least Brock Carlson didn't kill Kenny! At least, we have no evidence that he did...

displaced worker-- do you really think hes going to get much "food" from this tiny deer?? Would he be "stoked" at the thought of all the meat he was going to get from the animal? Hell no. Hes "stoked" because its white--and hes going to have the head mounted. We all know he shot it because it was white--and because he would be featured in the news as a "real hunter"..a "hero"...
blech. And please..spare us the dictionary talk. Serves no purpose in your post.

Based on the area this deer takes up in the truck bed, I'd estimate the field weight to be about 80 pounds.

Im thinking what a jerk its young deer and why would you kill it get a life Im all for deer hunting but why kill a rare young deer seriously!!!

I like the jackalope idea. But then he'd need to make it look gigantic and superimpose it onto the top of his pickup.

thats brilliant dub. jackelope style:)

grandprixgirl....I agree. I'll never understand the mentality of those who get a thrill out of killing for the sport of it. I'm all for hunting for the food but not for mearly a showpiece. How would sport hunters like to be chased and shot at? Also, he's never heard of anyone killing an albino deer? Get real. He's a hunter and somewhere he's heard of it. It's happened here in Wisconsin.

I really wish the Gazette would not publish pictures of dead animals. When they put the picture of the cougar shot dead on the front page I was equally disturbed. I for one do not care to see animals that have been killed, thanks.

delavan: In CWD zones the restriction on shooting albino deer has been lifted. The DNR wants to eradicate (as if that is going to happen) CWD.

Is not any animal in Wisc.that is albino illeagle to shoot?

The picture is missing him spitting a wad of chaw and the mud on the sides of his 4X4

Good catch to. That was funny as hell!!!

Kid - merely dropping in with the hypocrisy reminders. And there's a bunch of them here.

always droppin in with the safe sex reminders arent ya spark??;)

partarican1 - Exactly my point. Someone else provides you with the food.
-
proartist - To each his own. God gave us the teeth we have for more reasons that eating lettuce. Don't use this one example of a hunters decision to then only condom all other hunters or hunting in general.
That is ignorant.

There are so few albino or white deer (not all white deer are albino) in this area, with any luck they will all be shot and killed. Just because they are rare and extraordinary doesn't mean we shouldn't just kill them all off does it? Why would anyone not shoot and kill such a rare animal even though by doing so they deny an opportunity for the thousands of other area residents to glimpse and admire such a uncommon animal. After all, happiness is a warm gun, bang, bang, shoot, shoot. Its far more important to have the head mounted on a wall than give a deer with such rare attributes the opportunity to live. Besides, then someone else would probably shoot it. After all, God put animals on this earth to be shot for fun. (please note the sarcasm)

spark- You're right. There really is no difference. Except that I don't kill the cow or pig or chicken; someone else does. If I had to do it I wouldn't.

"Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet." ~Albert Einstein

and...hes "stoked" about this??? He kills a rare deer...looks like a fawn to me...and hes stoked!???! How pathetic. Hes going to mount the head? Are you kidding me? It will look ridiculous.
He should hide HIS head, in shame.
What a hunter.

The sad part about this story is that he has been hunting for 2 years and this is the first deer he has killed!!! Thank you DNR!!!!!

The sad part about this story is that he has been hunting for 2 years and this is the first deer he has seen!!! Thank you DNR!!!!!

partarican1 - There's people that would look at the cow or pig, etc. you eat and be saddened by that. What's the difference? To each his own.

I'm all for feeding yourself and family via hunting, but I do not hunt. I would probably be vegan if I had to provide my own food. I am saddened by the death of this beautiful animal. How could I not be affected by this? It looks like my dog...

Wait, is Woody saying it's an oversized albino squirrel?
It would eat the whole bird feeder!

Hey Woodsman, you are aware that's it's legal to shoot mourning doves (spelled proper), right? There's an over abundance of them everywhere. An albino is a genetic defect that has a much higher risk of sickness and disease that anything else. I personally wouldn't shoot an albino, but the story isn't about me. And yes, I think the Gazette should stop writing articles on things like this. It's the perfect opportunity for the animal rights freaks to have a hay day.

Small deer?? Look at it...It IS bigger than a squirrel...isn't it?

After this picture was taken, the hunter drove to the nearest store because he needed 2 pieces of bread for his tasty sandwich.

He was hunting in the CWD zone, maybe it's small and mangy looking because it actually has CWD? Just wondering.

I'm concerned about the size, is very small :(....Not going to be much meat there.

How is this rare anymore?

Just sayin....

I enjoy reading too much to give up books just yet. Maybe I need a more comfortable 'puter chair.
Yea, I've known a couple of iffy Dalmations, too. But one of the coolest dogs I ever knew was a big ol' Dalmation...he was one good dawg, that one!
Yea, somebodyelse, you mean like you're doing? You don't really know what any of us would or wouldn't actually do, now do ya? Plus, somebody with more balls than brains probably would give him crap about it...LOL!

Is the deer that small or is the hunter that big? All of the people on here who think their "valuable opinion" really matters should, if they see this guy somewhere, voice their opinion to him. I bet nobody would have the balls to do that. You would rather hide behind your computer and talk crap about somebody you don't even know.

Reminds me of that Farside cartoon--I won't do it justice, but it went something like, "Look, Watkins! A rare example of Nature's beauty--let's kill it, and preserve it for future generations." (Apologies to Gary Larson...)

It is small looking, it's probably a fawn from Spring of 09. As far as it rough look, it has just been shot with a one ounce hunk of lead, had all of it's innards removed and left on the ground then dragged a certain distance and then thrown into a truck. That doesn't do a lot for anyone's appearance.

Actually, I don't think it's a very "pretty deer" at all. From the picture, it's looks scrawny, puny and mangy. I'm sure he will enjoy some very tasty and meaty venison steaks from this one. While I still wouldn't rush to defend his logic for pulling the trigger, he probably was doing it a favor by killing it.
Thanks for the info by Temple Grandin...so did you enjoy reading her book...or did you just copy and paste that info from some goofy website called "Blurt-it.com"? And I think the AKC and tons of fire fighters would strongly argue the point of whether or not dalmations make good pets.
Oh, and although this isn't an article about abortion, I care about all living creatures, both human and animal.

Great rant dub, you covered a lot of ground there. DNR, albino deer, mutants, racism, gays and abortion. I got the feeling you were just getting started. LOL

A PS to hunters; If you shoot the fawns and does, there will come a time when the deer herd is so drastically reduced that you will not see any more deer. You see, when you kill the fawns and does, you are killing next years deer and so on and on.

NVgrf, no there wasnt one shot not to long ago. The one youre thinking of wasnt a true albino, the article stated such.

i agree with shopiere / the albine deer has always been a sacred animal amungst hunters. thank the DNR for the wholesale slaughter of the wis. deer herd.

I wouldn't have shot it. However, it was a legal deer and he made a good kill. Instead of calling the hunter your moronic, childish names, perhaps you should take your complaints to the DNR. They are the ones who sold this deer to be shot.

i guess i should be more amazed that we made it 18 comments without an A K B reference

omg how do we get from an albino deer to abortion rights? thought i had A D D

Wasn't one shot a while back around Janesville? If so, can't be all that rare then can it?

"Most albino anything have problems with sight and brain disorders."
_________
He should be proud he shot a blind, stupid deer then?

Good thing he didnt see an ivory billed woodpecker, or a saber tooth tiger!!

Yeah, I'm not against hunting, either. But I just don't get that kind of rationale..."never seen one before, know it's rare...guess I'll kill it!" It's so small, what's he gonna make out of the hide...a purse?

Hey, the DNR wouldn't make a mistake on it's albino deer count. There were too many of them.

You are right Dcsnick. The deer is small.

My 8yr old Gorden Setter is bigger then that deer. I hate hunters that kill REALLY SMALL DEER. Let them grow up alittle and get some meat on them.

This should never be published. It show that the Gazette has nothing better to do. I am not against hunting, however shooting a rare Albino Deer is wrong.

Yep just bagged a rare albino deer and going to mount it for the double wide.

perhaps the DNR will make next years hunt an earn-a-buck by only shooting an albino doe.

Think he feels like a big man now

woodsman,
how could he kill this animal?
easy -- with his gun!

How could you kill such a beautiful animal??? Then again you probably kill the morning doves too! I better keep my "PET" DOG in the house,or your kind might KILL it to!!
