Man captures photos of rare deer in Montana

For Greg Roset, taking pictures of wildlife is a hobby. The former employee of the Stillwater Mine is retired now and spends his time photographing the beautiful scenery of Montana.

“I just like to pull over and take a picture from the road. I think that’s the wonderful thing about Montana, you don’t have to go on hikes into deep wilderness areas to see wildlife,” Roset said.

Roset recently hit the jackpot when he found an albino deer on the Billings West End.


“I’ve never seen another albino of anything in the wild, so it’s pretty rare to see. It’s pretty exciting to see one in such closer proximity,” said Roset.

True albinos are very rare indeed, and so we're lucky to have this tremendous shot.

You just know some Jethro is going to gun-up and kill it for the thrill of it.

(Or - post it, but say it was taken in…Tennessee.)
