We have two of them running around here. I've seen them in the yard a few times and almost daily in the field across the street. Our neighbor has some great pictures of them with their momma. Our camera sucks at any kind of distance or I would have some great shots. I'll get the neighbor to send me some in the next few days and post them.

There is a couple of them up at the wildlife sanctuary off of 197 and Powder Mill Rd in Laurel. Pretty cool looking

Therre used to be one or two at the Patuxent Wildlife Refuge near Beltsville. Wonder if they are still alive.

....oops, looked it up. There are five of them and here are pictures: History/Natural History of the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center: White Deer

I grew up in Buffalo N.Y. and a friend of mine was albino. When it would snow at our bus stop, you'd have to search for his freaky pink eyes.

Some people are up in arms over this rare deer being be shot, to me they are an aberation and should be culled.

My grandfather used to say that the white deer brought good luck to the farm. We would always tell people not to shoot the white deer. All our neighbors knew not to shoot it also. Then one neighbor allowed some cops to hunt their land and one of them shot it and then bragged about it. That made a lot of people mad over that.
