    Thanks for posting my photos of the twin albino whitetails on this site. It’s been quite an experience having the twins feeding in my backyard for so long. It all started in 2006 and still continues today! If you have any questions or would like to see more photos, just let me know. Thank you all for your interest!

    I live in Wahkon Minnesota. It’s located on the south shore of Mille Lacs Lake in the central part of the state. After two years of the twins visiting my back yard, I’ve compiled quite a few photos and about 6 hours of video tape.
    Besides the twin albinos, I know of 7 others that live within a few miles of my home!
    According to http://www.backwoodswisconsin.com, the odds of seeing three albino deer at the same time is 1 in 79 billion! Check out this photo of four. What do you think the odds of this are?
    Thanks for the welcome to this site! I’m happy to be here!

    my wife works at father hennepin state park, it is right down the road from wahkon. she has alot of pictures of the white deer also. they have a shed in the park office from one of the white bucks. last spring she got to see one of the fawns just after birth, she said it was laying next to a birch log and was very hard to spot. the mother knows how to use camouflage to her advantage……..tom fellegy

    Is it true they taste vanilla?

    Thanks for putting up the link again Steve. I made the feeder out of metal and gas welded it together. The fact that it holds exactly 50# of corn was just an accident. Steve , aren’t you the guy that writes all those informative articles in the Mille Lacs Messenger?

    Bingo Tom! Father Hennepin State Park is were I took the photo of four albinos. You probably knew that from the brown gate in the photo. It’s so cool to go there and watch the deer. To have a new albino fawn running around the park is great!

    Chris,
    I tease my wife about that same flavor! I’ve wanted to harvest an albino deer most of my life. Now that the albino twins have been visiting my backyard for so long, they won’t even run away any more! I couldn’t shoot one.
