Albino Elk

[Ikeepitcold]

These are Elk in Nv. I didn't take these but I know the guide that did. These are two different bulls and supposedly there are more.

very cool. look almost like caribou.

 

[N.Y.ArcheryMadMan]

Yes I agree. Very Cool and do almost look like Caribou...

 

[Fink]

With the dark faces and legs, would those be considered piebald, instead of albino? Either way, I bet those suckers stick out like a sore thumb.

 

[CrimsonArrow]

They have dark eyes, not pink. Not true albino, but beautiful and unique anyway.

 

[Ikeepitcold]

I thought the same thing. These pics were taken last year

Ive seen an albino cow in nv that was pretty neat.

Didn't someone shoot a bull like that in Nevada last year? I thought I saw it in a hunting mag.

 

[Ikeepitcold]

Not sure. I didn't see it if someone did. I wouldn't doubt it tho. They have been around for years

 

[Muleys 24/7]

Very unique.

Very cool looking. I thought at first it look similar to a caribou in color.

are those actual native wild elk in nevada? doesnt the russian elk look just like that? thats awesome, makes you wonder if some farm elk were released or ascaped and bred or is that the real thing? very neat.

As far as I know. We had a transplant from yellow stone or something quite a few years ago and I believe these are native. A friend whacked a pretty white bull this past year:


This bull was a transplant and was 13 years old.

Yep, 13 years old. That's a old bull. Imagine his size in his prime?

Never heard of that. From what I've been told the Indians won't kill the white elk because they are in some way spiritual to them. So I would assume if that is true then they have been around for awhile.

That's really cool, trophy bulls too! Thanks for posting.
