1. I've never met the Walk's....probably will never know them well although I hope to meet them someday.
2. I've never bought anything from them.....probably will never be able to afford it.
3. I've never been to their place...probably will never get a chance to go there.
Do I think they are great people? YUP! Anyone that follows the deer business know that they are very giving people. I've followed their charity auctions (they give ALOT), read their posts (they know ALOT), know what their lots go for on auctions and all the things they will help the buyer with (how can you go wrong if you buy from them).
What they did with King Kong was good marketing...good business. Limit what you have and people with pay whatever the price. It's exactly what I would do if I ever had the chance. And I consider myself somewhat of a business woman being my husband and I have run a successful landscaping business together for 17 years. We got almost all of our business last year from our good reputation...referrals from our previous customers. Thank God too cuz it was a terrible year with the economy. Raising deer is the same thing. Get a good reputation, treat your customers right and fair and they will come to you.
A favorite quote from my dad is:
"Treat others as you want to be treated."
My dad is 75 years old and one of the most well respected people where I grew up and I try to live my life like he says.
