Many hunters and wildlife photographers consider the Black-tailed Deer the most elusive and alert American Deer species. Their amazing speed and blistering quickness make it very difficult for humans to get close - whether hunting or for that rare close-up shot. In his passionate quest to photographically capture the wily deer in their natural, unguarded behavior, James R. Harris demonstrates a sniper's skills in patience, stillness, quickness and accuracy as he presents this breathtakingly rare peek into the deer's secret life at its unbridled best. The collection portrays the black-tail at their various stages of life, from fragile white-spotted fawns, to protective mothers bonding with their fawns, to bucks chasing does in rutting season. Under Harris' watchful, unseen lens, the deer are exposed in spontaneity - while in hot pursuit of a female, in full alert for predators or in deep cover.
