“His majesty just strolled through our backyard,” Weese captioned the posted photos, according to ABC 11.
The Vilas County Sheriff’s Office later shared Weese’s photo, and called the unique buck a “majestic creature.”
All-white deer are illegal to shoot in Wisconsin, according to ABC 11.
Hunters cannot shoot “albino and white deer which have a coat of all white hair except that the hair on the tarsal glands, head or parts of the head may be a color other than white,” according to Wisconsin Department of Natural Resource’s guidelines.
