Swamphunter Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 I can't seem to find in the book whether or not it is illegal to shoot albino or piebald deer in NY State. I have heard from the locals where my hunting land is they have been seeing "white deer", and I'm not sure from the description if they mean albino or piebald. Too many variations of the story I guess. It would look cool on my wall! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swamphunter Posted October 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Re: Is it illegal in NY? [ QUOTE ] Legal I believe. [/ QUOTE ] Its the "I believe" part that concerns me. Have you ever thought about if you saw one and it was a shooter?? Can you imagine the thoughts you would have after letting it pass because you were not sure?? That is why I am asking.

Doc Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Re: Is it illegal in NY? My son shot a piebald buck and took it to a taxidermist . The mount hangs in his livingroom. I would have thought that if there was anything illegal about it, somebody, somewhere along the line would have said something. Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Re: Is it illegal in NY? Legal as far as I know. If you see a Piebald be sure to go out of your way to shoot it. They have bad genetics and are very bad for the herd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsterbucks1 Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Re: Is it illegal in NY? Some people have a myth about shooting a white deer, that it would give you bad luck. Don't really know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
