    Very cool! I’m betting you were not the only one that was after him. Congrats on a very special bird.

    Many congrats!!! Most hunters have never seen a true albino, let alone ever shot one, myself included on both accounts!

    I’ve seen pie-bald or salt/pepper looking varieties, but all hens, and i’ve hunted them a few years in lots of locations. This is a TRUE trophy to be very proud of.

    The fact you were able to keep in contact with him, hunt him specifically, and actually pass, then take him is an astounding accomplishment.

    Nice work!

    Neat bird

    It’s funny that his beard is black, is that normal ?
