I agree, they came begging him for endorsements. I have a very difficult time believing any working man like myself wouldn't take any legal avenue to make a better life for their family. If you'd turn down the hundreds of thousands offered, I'd have to wonder where your priorities are.
Now, I agree he went and made a damn fool of himself with that website. It's hilarious. You'd think a grown man with the sense to succesfully harvest mature whitetails would know better than to alienate himself with so many hunters. I haven't met anyone who hasn't laughed at, or like BM, been angered by the site. Most laugh, however.
I'd also agree it was a pickup. The coyotes should be recognized for killing the deer. However, as in the case of the Beatty buck, P&Y do not set the "world record", only the "P&Y club world record". Their club, their rules. If someone wants to spend allthe time and money making a new record book, they can do whatever they please. The biggest bucks killed are the world records, the particular record book, as well as the particular hunter doesn't really matter, and it's not worth getting upset over.
