Shot on 8mm film in 1938, this vintage home movie captures a group of deer, including young fawns, moving through a dense forest in California. The footage, filmed at night or in low light, shows the animals walking across a grassy clearing with trees in the background. The grainy, slightly blue-tinted image and visible film edges evoke a strong sense of nostalgia and historical authenticity. This archival clip offers a rare glimpse of wildlife in a natural setting from the late 1930s.
