Albino buck taken humanely

Concerning the local white buck, he will be missed, but he was taken humanely, legally and used for a good cause.

Mr. Kinnaman and his taxidermist are correct in stating an aging animal would be prone to more ills with winter coming on. Better he was harvested and used than have a stroke and die hardly and alone. Venison is healthy food, too.

Landed gently had large private game herds that were regularly called of older animals by the game keepers who worked on a peer's estate. Such deer were then used for family meals or donated to the worthy poor.

Happy hunting and a safe journey to all who enjoy the chase.
