Unusual Guest Hanging Out

We have had this guy coming around for a couple weeks now and he seems to like the horses. He even followed us once when we were moving the horses to a different pasture.

Appears to be an Albino deer. True albino's have pink eyes. Neat looking pic.

Looks like a chupracabra to me.

maybe it wants to eat the horses!

It's actually a white, not albino, deer. It has to be a black tail since that's the only species this side of the mountains but this guy appearently didn't get the memo.

There are several reports of them on Whidbey.

Since you all brought up white deer, watch this. Educational

There was a WHITE deer locally 2 years ago that was quite old and pretty friendly. seems a good number of people were feeding it and such, on outskirts of a medium sized town/city. Then some guy shot it and whew what a ruckus that caused lol. I wouldn't mind if they are ALL white make em easier to see in the dark running across road in front of ya. also easeir to get during hunting season
