Bruce Crossing hunter shoots a rarity.
BRUCE CROSSING -- It's a six-point buck with an 18-inch spread, and it weighed 180 pounds at field dressing.
A pretty impressive deer, but nothing special, right?
Wrong. It was an albino deer that was shot on Tuesday in the Bruce Crossing area by a Bruce Crossing man who asked TV6 not to use his name.
The hunter esitmates the deer was between four and five years old.
He plans to mount the entire body somewhere in town for everyone to see. He's open to suggestions.
How rare are albino deer? Biologists estimate they occur in about one in every 30,000 births. And unfortunately, most albino fawns don't survive to adulthood.
