[QUOTE="Andy S., post: 2858666, member: 131"] My reply was not an opinion. I have read a few articles, websites and blogs from biologists and deer breeders who are in the know, unlike you and I, about the possibility of whitetails and fallow deer interbreeding. They all agree it is not biologically possible. I'll put my trust in the experts, not what someone thinks they see in the wilderness. I'd rather someone show me hard factual proof, like DNA testing to proof their suspicions. The consensus from what I have learned is this: "[i]Fallow Deer (Cervus dama) are of the Cervus genus. White-tail Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) are of the Odocoileus genus. Both are from the Cervidae family, but the different genus makes egg fertilization impossible[/i]." Thus if interbreeding did take place, a viable offspring could not result.
