The Deer Story

From the Preface...

Consider that deer live on the edge of survival day and night in all seasons, all the while remaining nearly unseen by their primary predator man. They raise their offspring under these harsh conditions and pass on their accumulated knowledge to their offspring without benefit of a formal language. This last point, the passing of knowledge to their offspring, leads me to conclude that we must acknowledge these creatures as possessors of culture. If I have erred in the accurate depiction of the life of a deer, it is in failing to attribute sufficient knowledge and insightfulness to these gentle spirits of the woods.
