Rare Albino Buck Spotted In Northern Wisconsin

A rare albino whitetail deer buck has been spotted and photographed roaming a backyard in northern Wisconsin. Tracy Weese photographed the deer in her backyard in the unincorporated town of Boulder Junction. Albino animals are extremely rare and don’t always make it to adulthood due to their lack of camouflage.

'The brown stain on his leg is his tarsal gland releasing his scent as he's in rut. He looks different right now due to rut.' Rut refers to the deer mating season. It's unclear how large the albino deer is, but the average deer measures from six to seven feet and can weigh as much as 300lbs. White-tailed deer typically live between six and 14 years, but albino deer tend to have shorter life spans. Most albino and piebald deer die before adulthood.
