Hi all. I saw a white deer with two white fawns [View all]

Over the weekend. New Jersey pinelands. Was driving my daughter to the beach and they popped out of the brush on the shoulder. What a magnificent sight. I have never seen this before. Anyone ever see one?

My daughter thought they were goats
