| MuskegMan,
In the 60's and 70's there was an albino cow here on the Kenai, a couple of miles below the Kasilof River. Every 5 years or so, she seemed to pop out another! Haven't seen any of her brood in a long time. If I can find it, I'll scan a copy of her picture. It was real interesting to watch her come out of the willows...you didn't know where the moose ended and the snow began and visa-versa!
best,
bhtr |

| Did you take the photo? I think I have seen a photo similar to this one in the past couple of years...In GMU 20C the regulations prohibit shooting "white-phased or partial albino" moose, and for that reason alone I would like to go hunt there, just to see one of beasts!. Coldfoot, however, is a long way from the Kantishna River..pretty cool animal though. Thanks for posting the photo. |

| There was at least one albino cow near Healy in the late 70's & early 80's. A close friend who I worked with on the railroad took a photo of her. |

| LMAO  Is it not hilarious how a moose will try to hide behind a aspen sapling ? lol. I bet that one sticks out ! |

| A couple years ago there was a picture of an albino cow moose that was taken between the west end of Riding Mountain National Park and Hwy 83 north of Russell in western Manitoba. Apparantly she had a normal calf with her. Unfortunantly I can't seem to locate the picture. It seems to me there are more cases of albino moose than there is of other deer or elk.Anyone have any hard information on this? |

| I've never seen one in the flesh, but I've seen pictures of a bull before. Not in AK, though. There is some of this genetic propensity that seems to show up from time to time in the moose around Hickson BC. When I was living there, the F & G guys asked hunters not to shoot them, even if they saw them and were legal.
I never actually saw one there (other than in photos), but I have to tell you, had a seen a legal bull, I'm not sure I could have just let it go. |
