    Default Not something you see everyday.

    A friend of mine recently rescued an albino whitetail fawn from the side of the road. I guess its mom had been hit buy a car. I included a pic, below. This is something that very few people ever see, especially a fawn, so I had to share it. From what I understand they are giving it to a rehab farm of some sort.

    Dad, Tony was the one that found it, out by his house somewhere I guess...

    That is pretty cool. I've never seen a deer that small, much less an albino. Leave it to Tony to come up with something like this.

    I've seen quite a few albino whitetail deer, but not a fawn, cute little thing.

    Ok, now the question remains, if it was older, do you shoot it while sitting in the stand? Hmmm.......

    Apparantly a real pic, but I think your friend is "embellishing" his involvement a bit...this one's been circulating on the Internet for a while now....

My dream — and I hope you don't find this too crazy — is that I would like the people of this community to feel that if, God forbid, there were a fire, calling the fire department would actually be a wise thing to do. You can't have people, if their houses are burning down, saying, 'Whatever you do, don't call the fire department!' That would be bad."

    hmmmmm....It would appear you are correct. Actually the only reason I thought he was involved was because of the email he sent...the same letter attacted to picture on the website! Oh well
