White-tailed deer
The upper picture was snapped by the Northern white-tailed deer itself when it touched a slender thread which Mr. Dickey had strung across a trail in the New Brunswick woods in much the same method used by Martin Johnson in taking his photographs of wild animals in Africa. The deer does not seem at all alarmed at being shot in this manner-but one can imagine where the deer was about three seconds after the flashlight went off. The lower picture depicts the curiosity of the deer about its visitor. Note the deer’s reflection in the water.
