i have always been one to take people at their word. being an honest man myself, i figured a mans word is good till proven otherwise. all i will say is, if buying a live deer off the internet , or anywhere else for that matter, demand to see a DNA certificate. i purchased one from a well know breeder advertised as such and such breeding, however after delivery, the cert had only the sire listed and nothing on the bottom side! Three months later, still no satisfaction, only more rhetoric. I personally believe if you can't prove it, then you should not be advertising the animal as such, obviously not everyone agrees with me. Once again, my message is " Buyer Beware" the customer is not always right! tom l porter , still a KS deer enthusiast!
