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."

RE: What if ....
Sorry, I'm from NY and have no problem being blunt. What's that line from Goodfellas? Oh yeah, "**** you, pay me! You had a fire? **** you, pay me! Business was slow? **** you, pay me!" Whoever came with the biggestgarbage bag full of moneywould be my pimp. Putting all ethics and god fearing and whatever else aside, it would be irresponsible of me as sole provider for my family to not take advantage of a opportunity to do right by them.
Have fun fellas, Blast away!

RE: What if ....
I would have to believe in the product before endorsing it, otherwise I believe you are lying.
Kind of like, how Laywers protect the villans when they know their guilty, it's just not right, or maybe I watch to many movies?
Sorry to some of the Lawyers out there, but the others are blood thirsty money mogers, which are only a step above a used car saleman.
Why do you think there are so many jokes about your chosen craft?
Sorry I'm in left field again!
By lying, I mean, hipocrit.

RE: What if ....
I couldn't have made it possible without my Rear Veiw Deer Mirror !!
This monster didn't have a chance sneaking in down wind of my scentlok camo!!
I don't go hunting without my bowtech!!
I couldn't have done it with out so and so outfitter !!
Seems simple enough with the right color of green in Tim's hand.
Actually I think I'll work on getting my world record first and not worry about how much money I could possible make off it.
I know one thing... Fran will be my lawyer when it happens !!!

RE: What if ....
1st of all let's be real, we're talking money here, though if we're talking $5,000 to endorse some peice of junk, no thanks, but if we're talking $100,000's of dollars, personally I'd want to endorce what I used on my bow that instant to take the buck with. But I'd for the right price endorse another product I found to be a quality item and actually switched to using.....
Also basspro etc...thse shops buy the actual head from these guys I believe for 20-40k usually, would you sell? May even been much less? What would it take for you to sell a WR head? or a monster they wanted to buy liek Tony L buck from iowa, the ML buck?

RE: What if ....
Ok, if I'm getting payed I would probably do it. I do still have morals though. I'm not going to endorse something I think is crap or wouldn't consider using myself. I might need money, but I'm not a whore. Especially if my reputation was based on it.
Like say for instance someone asked me to endorse the WB rest. I don't particularly care for them, but in no way do I think they are junk. I would have no problem endorsing factual statements about the product.
