Carter, a writer and academic, Erika explores questions about where nature and culture collide—mysteries of ecology and history that spring from our relationship with deer, a very familiar, yet wild, animal. Over four episodes, they talk to scientists, hunters, artists, taxidermists, and people who just like to watch deer in their yards, and ponder what it means for humans in our time to attempt to connect with wild animals.
