White tails for sure!
Several year ago I saw a pair while in my stand.
First I though some one let some sheep loose but as they got closer I saw that they were deer. (two skippers)
Seen many pictures but they've always been white tail deer.
Any one ever seen white mule or black tail deer?

I to had shepherds, two as a child. They were the best. They took the best care of me and my sister. But my wife doesn't like large dogs. I saw an airedale once and thought it was really regal looking. So when the time was coming near to get our first dog I did a lot of research and very strongly considered the airedale. My wife was very uncertain about the breed till we saw a breeder and her dogs. If my wife would have left it up to me I would have a shephard for sure. I'm glad she didn't. This dog is 40 lbs lighter than my shepherds but has endurance to almost no end. She is also really protective of my wife and myself, but not agressive. A great inside dog, very smart (can think on their feet) and the best sense of humor too. I hear also that they were used for hunting bear because they not only treed the bear but wouldn't let it down. I had a link (lost it) from a guy who used his airedale to upland bird hunt, duck hunting, rabbit-coon-squirrel hunting, hunt bear, do tracking trials. He said his dog never placed first but always was competative (usually in the top 1/3). I could go on....
Someday we will have two of them.

Very rare. I have never seen one before or in a picture but have heard about it. Maybe Thomas has some expert advice. Nice that you can get it on film. I'll have to ask about the white deer to some of the real old time vermonters. I don't know anything about genetics but wonder if it can be passed by every generation or if it skips or what?

rlk,
Great pictures!!
The old saying goes if they hang around and have off springs that well bring you luck.
I believe its against the law in some state to shot at any wildlife thats white.
In my years in the woods I never seen wildlife 100% white,and you have them by your bedroom window /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif..I'm jealous.
Keep snapping more pictures,also maybe your fish and wildlife might be interested.

Thomas,
Several years ago I recall having a "camp fire talk"
where white deer came up in discussion.
I recall some one saying the same (no shoot), but others saying
that the Fish&Game folks didn't want them (white one) in the local gene pool.
I let the two I saw walk on by as they were clearly young skippers, no horns and all I had was a buck tag!

What I always thought was amazing, given their large size (moose) how quickly they move in the woods.
Or when not spooked, just how slow they move.
Sat on stand one day and had a small bull (4pt) with cow
wander in, they took almost an hour to move through my
viewing area. Finally had enough, coughed at them, and in
about 2 seconds later, gone!
Heard a few clackity-clacks as the bull moved through the woods.
