I wouldn't endorse a product if I didnt use it on the hunt or it didnt help me take the animal

Are they paying me or asking me to do it out of the kindness of my own heart?

I would only endorse a product if i thought it was a good product and if i thought it would help me. But i don't think i have to worry about a company wanting me to endorse their products.

I will endorse the products I believe in or have used if they were paying, whether or notI used them on that hunt. I guess that would be alittle white lie I could live with. I got kids to feed and send to college, for the right price and a replica I would probably sell the whole mount. Reminds me of the scene in Forrest Gump where he endorses the ping pong paddles.

I don't think I could honestly answer that question w/out being in the situation. I can sit here and tell you that I won't endorse a product I didn't use on that hunt, and that I wouldn't lie and say that I did.....That's a very romantic thought, but......With everything that would be going on, money flying around, offers being made......you've suddenly become "famous"......I just don't think it's possible to really answer that.

What is it that Forrest Gump's momma said? Oh yeah, "When I was in China I just loved playing ping pong w/ my ( X BRAND) paddle, which everybody knows isn't true but momma said was just a little white lie and wouldn't hurt anybody anyway."

I would endorse a product if I thought it was good product, one that I would really use. I would do so even I did not use it on the hunt in which I killed this record animal. I don't see a problem with this. Look at all the people that are sponsored by bow companies. Do you think they shoot a Matthews, Hoyt, PSE or whatever because they think it is the best there is, or because they are being paid or provided with some benefit to do so?
