there was a herd of white deer on the secured property of the Argonne Nation Laboratory.. nuclear research facility in Illinois... I believe they are gone now..

Will ask my best buddy from Seneca Falls about those deer.
Beautiful Church in that town.

Didn't Susie often say to her husband, "please take out the trash Albino Dear?"

Knew I had a picture somewhere. Here's one that I saw right outside the hospital where I was working in 2018. There are 4 deer in the picture. The piebald is the easiest to see. This was right across the parking lot from the emergency room entrance of the West shore Hospital. Across across the Susquehanna River from Harrisburg, Pa. The area is built up so the only hunting allowed would be archery. Interstate 81 is about 1/4 mile away from this spot and deer are hit in that stretch on a weekly basis, more often during the rut. A semi running at 70 mph will turn a deer into a big red splotch on the road in an instant with the only thing left to ID it as a deer being the hide wrapped head along the side of the highway.

There use to be quite a few white deer at Sangchris Lake State Park, IL. Haven't been in the woods in the park for several years so don't know how many are still around. Occasionally we will see them on our farm when they'd get away from the lake area.
They are not albino but a white mutation.
Illegal to kill a white deer in IL.

I saw one (a pie bald) near Lincoln's New Salem, a few years ago. Close to the Sangamon River.

There are Albino Whitetail Deer on the former Seneca Army Depot in Romulus, NY. Right betw Seneca and Cayuga lakes.
The secured nature of the Depot grounds kept the albino/genetic species in tact for many years.
There was a protective program in effect for many years after the Depot was closed down (around 1999/2000) to try and save the habitat and area for them. But that seems to have failed.

The mixed color Brown/White Piebald Whitetail Deer are not rare in WNY. But certainly they are an uncommon site.

I’ve actually seen multiple elbino deer there on my travels through that area as a service tech. many years ago.

They are called Piebald. It is due to a rare genetic variation. I've seen one in my over 50 years of hunting deer.

I don't hunt deer anymore. But, when I was hunting deer, I saw a piebald one time. From a distance, I thought it was a large dog. When it got closer, I realized that it was a deer. It got close enough for an easy shot, but I couldn't bring myself to shoot it. I just let it keep walking.
