This is Alpha male stuff. You’ll need a hunting license, a copy of Redneck Weekly, and plenty of moonshine (or its local equivelent).  Deer Woman is a good place to start. It is also the most respectable movie in this bunch.  The movie itself is cop versus Deer Woman (woman or deer or both depending on her mood). Pretty corny, but respectable.  Less graceful and mournfully pathetic is The Incomplete Deerhunter 3.  The comedian Jeff Foxworthy leads a cast of real characters.  It is Hee-Haw with guns and extremely cheap humor.  I have yet to see the first two installments and have very little incentive to watch what I fear will be more of the same.  Hunting for Bambi.com not only has a unique title, but is truly a standalone.  This has men with paintball guns “hunting” women (the Bambis) running about in their birthday suits. It actually goes down from there.  This is not the movie to get kudos from Oprah or The View.  Taken together these movies “highlight” the strange deep sub genres that are found in our wide open movie world. I don’t mean to give high marks for these movies.  They are nonetheless valuable as cultural markers and part of our cinematic culture.

Half-woman, half-deer, and all weird. The sublime Brian Benben plays the usual browbeaten cop on the trail of murder, mayhem, and a self-mocking storyline.  Deer Woman concocts Native American lore with some entertaining police work reminiscent of the sturdy slapstick of Bride of the Monster. This flick should be shown free at Mohegan Sun. And that is a rare endorsement if ever there was one. (Once you see the movie and visit Mohegan Sun you’ll see the connection).
