"Forked Deer" also known as "Forked Buck", "Forky Deer", "Forked-Horn Deer", "Forked Deer Hornpipe", "Hounds in the Horn", "Long-Horned Dee", "Deer Walk", "Bragg's Retreat", "Old Pork Bosom" and "Van Buren" is a Widely known old-time American breakdown in D Major. Many older versions have several more parts than the two that are commonly played in modern times, and Jeff Titon (2001) suggests that the influence of the recording industry had much to do with shortening and standardizing the parts of the melody. Clay County, W.Va. fiddler Wilson Douglas, heir to an older tradition, plays the tune in three parts, as did his mentor French Carpenter. Roscoe Parish of Coal Creek, Va. also had a third part. Blind northeastern Kentucky fiddler Ed Haley (1883–1951) played a five-part version, as did Charlie Bowman and Kentuckian J.W. Day. Miles Krassen (1973) remarks the tune is very popular through most of the southern Appalachians, though it was not played by most of the Galax, Va. style bands. It was printed in Brody's Fiddler's Fakebook (1983), R.P. Christeson's Old Time Fiddler's Repertory, vol. 1 (1973), Ford's Traditional Music of America (1940), Krassen's Appalachian Fiddle (1973), Milliner & Koken's Milliner-Koken Collection of American Fiddle Tunes (2011), Phillips's Traditional American Fiddle Tunes, vol. 1 (1994), Thede's The Fiddle Book (1967), Titon's Old Time Kentucky Fiddle Tunes (2001) and Songer's Portland Collection (1997).
