Apache7mm Report post Posted April 10, 2007 Came across this one today in the field, noticed how "faded" the coat looked so i stopped and took a closer look, looked really white to me but not completely white, when she ran across the road i seen the spotted "pie-bald" look on the face, first time i've ever seen it with my own two peepers, cool.

Apache7mm Report post Posted April 11, 2007 yea it was really cool to see that in the wild, of course when she was feeding up to the road in the thick stuff she just took her sweet ol time, then as soon as she hit the road she was across in no time, then once again in the thick back to just relaxing, i tried to get a pic of her and the other doe she was with for comparison, you could really tell the difference, but oh well.

billrquimby Report post Posted April 13, 2007 Two or three years ago friends in Eagar reported seeing of a small "albino" bull elk near Mexican Hay Lake above my cabin. I went there a couple of times hoping to see it but never did. After that year's hunt someone posted a "hero" photo in a barber shop in Springerville of what must have been that animal. The guy who killed it near Mexican Hay was posing with his "pie-bald" bull. Its coat had more darker areas on it than the whitetail on this thread, though, which made it look more like a "pinto" or "paint" horse. It was the first off-color elk I've heard of in Arizona, although I'm sure it does occur infrequently. Bill Quimby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only offcolor animal I have seen was a fox in 20c. It was almost 100% white except for its muzzle which was a dark gray. Wish I would have known more about wildlife 7 years ago.

COOSEFAN Report post Posted April 13, 2007 There were a ton of rumors flyin' around about a 6X6 bull in Unit 10 last year that was full albino........kinda wierd though.......never heard of a bull of any size like that on the previous years.........maybe the MotherShip descended upon Unit 10 and beamed him down to earth.........maybe he's an alien-elk!?
