Her mom blew up (long story), her husband left her for another man (long story), she lost her job and apartment (another long story), and the long and short of it is - she is out of options.

If You See a Deer is a mini-series companion podcast to Erika Howsare’s book, The Age of Deer (out from Catapult Books in January 2024). Along with Tyler J. 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.
