"An extremely rare white deer discovered in the Scottish lowlands has become subject of a bidding war between hunters wanting to kill it." "The white-coated roebuck, which experts say is not an albino, is so unusual that only a handful have been seen in Britain since the end of the Second World War. Kevin Stuart, who has the stalking rights to the 3,000-acre estate where the wild deer lives, hopes to get up to £6,000, four times the norm, from a trophy-seeking client when the hunting season opens in three weeks." News article March last year not for herd management not for food not 'cos it's dangerous in any way but..... it's a rare genetic throwback; historically very uncommon so just 'cos you want the 'trophy' and you can pay enough.
