Funny thing.

Years ago there was a study done. Twenty bucks were placed in a high fenced 10 acre brushy treed up plot of land. And some of the bucks had bright colored ribbons tied onto their antlers.

They placed a few hunters in there...some very experienced, some not so much.

The results were interesting....Deer can hide, like you wouldn't believe.

Now, granted...a white one might have a disadvantage. But, snow geese don't seem to have a problem being pure white.

FWIW_

You would shoot a beautiful creature like that? And cube its meat into 1-inch portions, run it through the fine (3/8") plate of your meat grinder, add a little pork shoulder for the fat, stuff it into natural sheep casings, cook it over a low grill for 5 minutes a side and serve over pasta with a nice Cabernet? You would do a horrible thing like that?

Nope. We use pig casings.

A ten year old deer is a ripe old age, most die of starvation by their 8th 0r 9th year from starvation as there teeth are gone. What is better, let him starve or harvest him before he dies of old age.

I could NEVER shoot this deer, period. If he’s made it this far, more people would have thought like I than you.

Take your ‘old age’ thought and transfer it to you. How would you vote then?

Dude or dudette, quit trying to humanize an animal. Deer were meant for eatin.That deer is in its prime, will starve to death in a few years. What difference does it make if he’s beown or white, it’s still a damn deer.
