Minn. Woman Shoots Albino Deer During Opener


(WCCO) On this season's deer opener, a Minnesota woman shot one of the rarest kinds around; an albino deer. Mary Rakotz of Avon got the 6-point buck on Saturday in Mille Lacs County.

She said it was thrilling to see the rare animal, but 100 times more exciting to be able to actually take it home.

"I had heard that it might be in the area, so I thought that here was my chance of a lifetime. So I had to creep a little bit, probably about 40 yards, to get a good place where I could steady myself a little bit. But then I did that and shot and it went right down," said Rakotz.

Rakotz said she isn't sure if she has room to mount the buck, so she's contacted Cabella's to see if they're interested in buying it.

She also said her family and friends are pretty excited for her, and maybe even a little jealous.

u make it sound easy to Hunt and kill a deer. I know if i was out hunting and i saw an albino that was big enough to be eaten, i would drop it too. Then if somebody heard about my albino deer and offered me a high price for it... why not sell it... its already dead.

Id just have my dad mount the head, hes a taxidermist.
