There's one thing in life that has no price and no one can take away from me. Honesty &integrity. Hell no. They aren't going to pay you enough for me to give it a second thought. I really hate two types of people in life... Liars and thieves. What are they going to give you... 2 or 3 thousand.. maybe 5. It wouldbe gone before the sting of being liar.
Lie????? As Roger Clemens said about Andy Pettitte, maybe I just mis-remembered.:D

RE: What if ....
 
I don't think I would. Only way possible would be if I actually used what they wanted me to endorse. About 15 years ago my dad and 2 other guys shot 3 P@Y Coues' Deer in New Mexico all with Traditional Bows. They ranked very high in the P@Y book. Coues' Deer are nicknamed the (Grey Ghost), its very unheard of to see 3 bow hunters go in an area and have this kind of luck. Bowhunter Magazine and a few others wanted to do a story on them and a few other companies wanted to endorse there products with my dads group, the money I guess was a good chunk but they all turned it down. Biggest reason was that they didn't want to give out the spot they hunted and secondly there not your typical Chuck Adams- endorse products that you don't use!! I don't believe in that kind of BS and my dads group didn't either.

Man are we taking this post a bit too serious ?? [&:]If a guy did shot a WR... you would be called every nasty thingin the book with people's jealuosy. You don't have to look any farther then this forum to see it. You better be thick skinned and have all your ducks in a row.One good thing thoughDave... you wouldn't be slamming yourself like you do some of the celebrities so itmight not be so bad for you. Or would you ?? [8D];) :D

If the money was right, I would endorse the products I actually was using when I shot the buck.

After the fact I would endorse other products if I liked them, as long as they didn't try to pass it off that I used them while taking the buck.

Pony up the dough.

Call me a sellout. ;)

What can I say? I'm young. I want to start my own business. Easier to do with a fat wad of benjamins.
You admit you would be dishonest then you quote proverbs in your signature. This I find interesting and a bit puzzling.
Also you want to start a business. If it is in the hunting field and people found out about your dishonesty, how far do you think you would get?

if i didnt use it on THAT hunt i killed the animal, im not putting my name/face/animal on it even if were talkin millions....i just couldnt do it...i would feel like i was lying to the whole world...which i pretty much would be.

I simply think it's the same as lieing to say you used something when you didn't. Why would you do that. Yes, I do slam some celebs(they make it so easy) and I build others up. I think some of them are just tremendous while others are ... well, easy targets and so deserving. You'll never see me taking shots at folks like Chuck Adams, Bill Jordan, Jim Dougherty, etc. Since when does someones TV stardom eliminate them from a few shots concerningright and wrong.

Are we taking this thread too seriously? The question was ask. What's wrong with giving your answer.

I would only endorse what I used on the hunt, same way with the next world record bass, I was asked the same question...same answer.
