VERY UNIQUE SIGHTING - The Firearms Forum

UncleFudd · 04-15-2012, 08:43 PM

Been a while since I posted, a combination of being too sick to pay attention and not having the motivation or anything interesting to share. Still trying to get the cancer thing under control.

But last Tue evening the wife and I took our RZR for a ride up in the timber above our ranch and happened to spot a single mule deer, doe with TRIPLET fawns still with her. They were obviously yearlings and I am sure they are weaned or nearly so but still with the mom.
Well as some of you are hunters and know that triplets with mule deer especially to have all three live and to be very apparently healthy is quite unique. BUT, it don't stop there folks; TA DA!! YEP, two of the three fawns are albino, white as can be and they stood about 75 yards from us and watched us as we watched them.

Two nights later we took some friends on basically the same ride and within 3/4 of a mile saw the same three fawns and mom, so the company got to see them as well. Unfortunately I did not have my camera either time, but I now have witnesses and no one had been drinking.

I don't know what the odds are of this phenomena, but it has to be astronomical.

Stay well.

There were a lot of albino deer around fort Dix when I was there 2001 to 2003. Must have been from when a nuk caught fire and burned down.

That is a rare sighting indeed. It is nice to hear from you and I hope you are feeling better. Stay in touch.

Great to see you back here again, I was worried.

I hate it when those Kodak moments show up and there isn't a camera around.
Thanks for the cool story; now go back up there and get some award winning pictures!

Prayers sent to you and yours.
