THE GRACEFULNESS OF THE WHITE-TAILED DEER DRAWS US TO THEM. We love to watch deer as they graze, lifting thier heads alertly,and when they're startled, leaping away with their tails flagging. Their beauty is surpassed only be the rare white ones of their kind.
A lucky few of us have chanced to see the white whitetail - the albino deer - in the wild. We remember where. It's a sight like seeing a ghost. We have to stop and look. Drivers pull to the side of the road to peer into the woods, following the apparition with their eyes, and lingering in hope of a repeat visitation.
Perhaps no one has spent as much time following these white ghosts of the forest as photographer Jeff Richter. Jeff has been privileged to hunt the deer with his camera on lands where they seem to have concentrated by some fluke of nature. He has committed hundreds of images of white deer to film over many years, and is finally sharing the best of these here.
Award-winning outdoor writer and naturalist John Bates weighs in with his own impressions of these fascinating animals. John references historical accounts of white deer in northern Wisconsin, and wisely tempers the subject with an explanation of the genetics of albinism and a discussion of the implications of this phenomenon.
Join Jeff and John for the first ever exploration in book form of the elusive and startling white deer.
