I'd love to see the pics too. Just added these, as I saw them online a little while ago, and for sure everyone hasn't seen the pics yet.
I personally saw an albino Moose cow on the shores of the mackenzie river while hunting. The only thing with a lens that I had on me was a riflescope, so no pics. (I hear its terrible bad luck to shoot an albino animal, or just plain mean. They have all the odds against them as it is, what with no natural camoflage, so who am I to pop one. )

Not to hijack your thread, but I got a couple of pics of a deer a few years ago. Not an albino, but definitly a lighter shade than other deer. Wish I knew how to post pics.

If you get some pics... post them up for sure! Ive only ever seen that Albino moose that hung around east of Ardrossan many years back. Quite the shocking site to see to say the least

What would an albino bucks antlers look like?

My aunt and uncle seen a blackbear with two white cubs. My uncle was driving and thought he seen a sheep and was wodering what it was doing by the cows. Then he seen another with the black sow. He got some pictures of them its pretty cool.< Was outside of nanton Ab. Anyone know where williams cooley is? He seen them on the south side of it.

normal. antlers are colored by what the animal rubs on. ever notice how white the antlers are on suffield elk? they really have no trees to rub on. northern whitetails tend to be very dark in the spruce.



and cool pics from all!

There was an Albino Mulie hanging around Manning last spring and summer.
I photographed it in the spring.






I haven't seen it since mid summer, and I haven't heard any talk of it, so I don't know if it's still around. I hope so.

This was the last time I saw it. It was in the meadow across the river from the Manning Motor Inn

The one at Manning appears to be a doe and is not a pure Albino. The eyes are dark.
