The 11-year-old, Gavin Dingman of Oceola Township, killed the albino buck last week while on a hunting trip with his father, Mick Dingman.

Now, the albino buck 11-year-old incident is facing criticism on social media, and the boy is reportedly receiving death threats.

Young Michigan Hunter Harvests Ultra Rare Albino Buck, and He is Receiving Death Threats Because of it https://t.co/UJwtEuUvQO #DeerCamp — OutdoorHub (@Outdoor_Hub) October 21, 2014

The 11-year-old hunter's father, Mick, revealed that their celebration over the albino buck 11-year-old incident turned grim when they received death threats from quite a lot of people.

"We've had death threats and everything else that you can imagine," Mick told OutdoorHub.

The Dingmans reportedly did not expect the social media backlash. Most of the criticism came from anti-hunting advocates and family members who said the albino buck 11-year-old incident was nothing but graphic and disturbing, according to Outdoor Hub.

Meanwhile, the site said critics also used the opportunity to target hunting in general. On WZZM's Facebook, which reported on the albino buck 11-year-old story, commenters called for a ban on hunting and "open season."

USA Today published a report December 2013 wherein Wisconsin naturalist John Bates, co-author of "White Deer: Ghosts of the Forest," said albino deer are born once in about 20,000 births. According to some biologists, only one in 100,000 deer is born albino.

Because praise and awe came initially before the threats, with other witnesses saying they are amazed with the stunning beast up close, the family took time to say how they will be celebrating the albino buck 11-year-old trophy. At the time, the family of the 11-year-old is happy with all the attention that the boy is getting, according to the Livingston Daily Press & Argus.

"He kind of feels like a rock star right now. Everyone is calling, all of the hunting shows and hunting magazines," said Mick.

Apparently, the albino deer has already been spotted by the Dingmans several times over the years before the albino buck 11-year-old kill. They reportedly took snapshots of the rare animal.

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

11-year-old Gavin said that when he saw the albino deer, he was "very nervous" while taking aim with his crossbow.

"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,'" he said.

The young boy eventually shot the deer from a full 30 yards away, and right on target.

"I double-lunged it," said the young boy.

Gavin reportedly have had experience before of getting a trophy during a hunt. He said that last year, he shot a six-pointer "straight through the heart" using a crossbow too.

Mick said that before the albino buck 11-year-old kill, he had been confident of his son's ability to take on the deer.

The family basked in all the attention that the viral photo of Gavin and the rare deer is giving them, according to the Examiner.

"I've had people tell me, 'You should have taken the shot. You don't let an 11-year-old take a shot at a deer like that,'" he said. "To me, in my opinion, it doesn't matter if it's a spike or a doe or a trophy deer. If you have confidence in them, it shouldn't matter what they are shooting at."

Gavin will reportedly be presented with a large trophy to remind him of his alleged great success. The family will reportedly hire a taxidermist to create a full-body mount of the deer.

"It's too rare and too pretty not to spend the extra money and have the whole thing done," said Mick.

While the 11-year-old's family see the albino deer a trophy, others have tried to conserve the extremely rare animals. Five states - Illinois, Iowa, Montana, Tennessee and Wisconsin - have laws which protect albino deer, according to the Inquisitr. People killing the rare animals are required to pay a range of hundreds to thousands of dollars.

Michigan previously banned hunting albino deer, but in 2009, the prohibition was lifted, allowing the sport again.

Daryl Ratajczak of the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency said that white deer are not a separate species. Instead, albinism is an "extremely, extremely, rare" genetic condition. As albino deer are unbelievably rare, they have been included in historical legends and myths. However, other cultures believe the white animals are sacred.

The albino buck 11-year-old kill may be despised by many, with the family considering it a once in a lifetime event. However, debating the issue with death threats is below-the-line, especially for an 11-year-old boy.
