A White Tailed Deer uses it's tail to communicate to other deer. White can be seen for long distances in the forest. A raised tail usually signals danger and a deer will usually raise it's tail when running from danger. I have watched deer simply raise their tail to signal to other deer that it is there. When in "heat" a Doe will raise it's tail to signal to a Buck that it is ready to mate. Most often, in this situation, the tail is only raised half way.

Not all deer raise their tail when running. I have watched mature Bucks run with their tail flat against it's rear. I assume this is because the mature Buck does not want to be seen nor is it concerned about warning other deer.
