Boy, 11, shoots dead extremely rare albino deer - PHOTO

An 11-year-old boy from Howell, Michigan shot dead a rare albino deer with his crossbow while on a hunting trip with his father last Monday.

While a child being able to hunt a deer may seem like a long shot, it's even more unlikely is that one could nab an elusive albino deer.

Gavin Dingman shot the buck while being supervised by his father Mick Dingman on a hunting outing.

USA Today reports that just one in 20,000 deer are born albino. Some biologists claim that just one in 100,000 deer are albinos.

'He kind of feels like a rock star right now. Everyone is calling, all of the hunting shows and hunting magazines,' Mick Dingman told the Livingston Daily.

This isn't the first time the Dingmans have spotted the albino deer either.

They've seen the majestic white buck several times in the past couple of years and have taken photos of it.

'The whole neighborhood is familiar with it. Quite a few of the guys in the neighborhood were trying to get it,' Mick Dingman said.

Gavin Dingman and his 13-year-old brother Graham take turns hunting with their father and on that one the Monday the deer was killed, it was Gavin's turn.

Mick told reporters his son was 'nervous' at first when attempting to shoot the deer.

'My dad was just like, take a deep breath. Are you sure you can take the shot? If you're not 100 percent, we don't want to injure it,' “the boy told The Livingston Daily.

Gavin was able to shoot the buck from 30 yards away.

'I double-lunged it,' he said.

This isn't Gavin's first hunting victory.
