Albino Moose

[UMDSportsman]

Coach1310- I like to hunt both places, but the albino deer was taken in the Foley area. i would post pictures but the pictures i have are of it hanging in the tree(aginst forum picture policy), not the ones that were taken in the summer.

Here is a link to a picture of our party with the albino deer.

Correction, I've seen 4 albinos....saw one in Father Hennepin(sp?) park on Mille Lacs two years ago, forgot until someone mentioned the big pond.

I am usually not one to dispute the validity of other peoples pictures.................BUT, I can say with 99% certainty that those moose were not photographed in Marenisco, MI. I grew up in Bessemer (15 mins. west of Marenisco) and have never heard of ANY albino moose. I have fished, hunted, snowmobiled, etc. all over the area and have never come across a "normal" moose, let alone an albino. I believe those pictures have been circulating around the internet for awhile now and were actually shot in Canada.

There is a bait shop just west of Lake Gogebic that has numerous pictures of albino deer, and I believe and albino bear, but no moose.

Apparently they're trying to protect albino deer in Mille Lacs County. A new bill introduced to the leglislature would make it illegal to shoot them.

You're right shiner--2-white moose pics come from the trans-canada--near Wawa.

The white cow with normal calf was taken someplace out west--notice the magpie in pic.

I was going to raise that point, but I couldn't find a true "homerange" of the magpie. I hate, hate, hate those birds and it is illegal to "exterminate" them in CO.........

I have a video that the neighbor shot of an albino 8 pointer. Pretty neat. Always cool to see albinos.
