Hunting Season

Hunters in the southern part of the state might want to check with the DNR before heading out to your stand. Certain chronic wasting disease management zones are opening up harvest of albino deer, which are rare down here.

A Janesville man got one:

Hanewold and his friends returned to find the deer the following day.

They saw the albino lying dead. It was much different than normal deer. It had soft, fine white hair like a rabbit. It also had a bushy tail like a horse.

“It’s [sic] body was glowing in the woods as white as it was,” Avery said. “I’m telling you, I’m at a loss for words.”

It was one of the best days the men have had in the woods. They had only previously seen albino deer displayed in museums or shows.
