The flash of the White Tail is a warning to other deer that danger is present. Deer will allso "snort" "wheeze" and stomp the ground. If a deer senses something is close but can not smell it or is unsure- it will snort or stomp the ground to get a response. The tail is a perfect sign- bright white can be seen from a long way in the forest.
