Description
In the early seventies Orcas Island was inhabited by a beautiful pure white buck. The taxidermical lure of this incredible creature was apparently too hard to resist. Someone killed it. And stuffed it. For years later the island had a legacy white-speckled deer–the obvious result of the prolific and dearly departed white buck. But after a while all the white-speckled deers vanished. In the past years they have reappeared on the island. Here is one in a sunny spot on Mount Constitution.
