That is awesome! Congrats to your buddy.

Unfortunately, I'd do my best to not tell a soul I killed him.

Congrats to your buddy on an amazing buck! Good thing he got it too! Had he not, one of the half a million new hunters would have probably shot him 20 minutes before legal shooting light on opening day of gun, but given up the search when they only found white hairs.

**Disclaimer**
This is my buddy’s deer he shot last night and recovered this morning on a true Northern Lower Michigan PUBLIC Land ghost! He said I could “throw” some pictures on here to share.

I get a text last night from my buddy stating “I think I just missed a deer of a lifetime” I could tell he wasn’t joking and was excited. Amongst a bunch of texts and profanities he states it was a big Albino or piebald buck. Long story short he states “I heard a loud crack and I am backing out and coming back in the AM with waders as I think I saw him just standing in the swamp.”

I follow up with him at 8:45 this AM and I get a response stating “still alive - I see him blinking” with a picture of a buck bedded on the other side of a river. He states he needs to back out go to main road and cross the bridge and figure out a way to get a follow up shot on the buck. He put 2 stalks on the buck resulting in the buck getting up walking 50ish yards and laying down and then crossing the river again before a finishing shot through the neck. The recovery involved kayaks and paddling upstream with the buck in tow. He stated it was 20+ hours from initial shot until the buck was in his truck.

I would say the effort was worth the reward!

If you had to describe this deer with one word that would be it! That’s the nicest trophy I think I’ve ever seen. It’s just so unique and not many can say they have one of those. Totally awesome!

Amazing buck! Congratulations to your friend!

What a trophy!

Snow was his friend.

Unique trophy with the white coat. Since it doesn't have pink eyes, nose and ears I don't think it's a true albino deer but still a once in a lifetime trophy.
