BOULDER JUNCTION (WLUK) -- It's not the first time Tracy Weese has seen this white buck.

Weese took this picture Sunday of the buck in her backyard in Boulder Junction.

Tracy says she has seen the buck before.

Writing this on her Facebook page: "His Majesty just strolled through our backyard ??"

She says she wants him to get the credit he deserves. She says he is an albino, and not a piebald. A piebald or pied animal is one that has a pattern of unpigmented spots on a pigmented background of hair, feathers or scales.

Tracy tells us albino bucks look different when in rut. The brown stain on his hind leg is his tarsal gland that releases his scent. She says he has a brown/blood stained head and antlers because he rubbed his white velvet off on trees.

It is illegal to shoot albino deer in Wisconsin.
