Joe Hutto's remarkable ability to interact with wild creatures was previously portrayed in the award-winning Nature film, "My Life as a Turkey." His new wild family is made up of mule deer living high in the mountains near his home in 8 4188702103 Wyoming, and the extraordinary story of how he became one of them pushes once again at the boundaries of how we perceive wild animals. A chance encounter with a young buck and a shared look of understanding grows ir a study of these animals that takes up seven years of Hutto's life. Ordinarily, mule de would flee in panic at the sight of any human but he finds himself drawn to them a willingly dedicates himself to earning their trust by spending time with the herd ev day for over two years. Incredibly, these keenly intelligent animals eventually accept stranger as one of their own. Their acceptance allows him to enter deer society, to cr a species divide. Walking among them, he is even groomed by them, and can lie a pregnant doe talking to her unborn fawns. The joy Hutto feels as he comes to kn each individual is nothing short of infectious, but this human predator also learns to the world from the point of view of prey, an experience that will ultimately rock hin his very core.
