Of course we brought in Dan Hendricks and Leone Russo as the best subject matter experts in the world as well as gaining the support of Ted Nugent, Keith Warren and the ATA along with many other Outdoor groups and large vendors.
Just friendly advise from a lowly humble good ole boy hunter. I wouldleave teds name out of aconversation trying tobring people in your fold. Did you see that nutball on that stupid show, "surviving Ted" on VH1? He did more harm to hunters than he could have ever helped. I was ashamed of him. I bought that stupid cookbook of his and other things, and I feel like throwing it in the fireplace for putting 'real" hunters in such a bad light.
Also, just another tip for you from the regular hunting crowd. Don't use words like ignorance. It really isolates yourcause, and does you no favors. I know alot of people here reada few articles that love the word ignorance and all. So they reuse it. But it sure doesn't help your cause. I am a staticitican by nature of engineer work, and as any knowledgable engineer knows, statistics are very abused and don't tell half the story.
Just a simple mans opinion.
I'll use the word ignorance again, and you will be surprized at what others I can bring out of this vocabulary. Ted Nugent has probabley won more awards for conservation than any other human. You may read his bio like everyone else at
www.tednugent.com,(Being a bean counter you will love it)he is on the Sr Board of directors of the National Rifle Assn...Several Golden Moose Awards, Awarded as a top outdoor writer, Spokes person for Mothers agaist Drunk Driving. Ted is about as patriotic as you can get, so tell your humble buddies about the thousands of Marines he and Toby entertained. And just for the heck of it tell them about the 6 figures he laid on the Katriana victims in Louisiana...I gave him an award myself for that one.He has a wonderful clean cut family, his wife now sponsoring Freedom Angles to help wounded soldiers. VH1 is not the Outdoor Channel, Ted is a Rock and Roll Star "He puts on an act." Sure it clashes with a few stoic anal retentives, Ive had my arguments with some of his stuff, but its an act...The Ted Nugent that deals with the outdoors is the real one, Not the "Nuge." His archery mentor was none other that Fred Bear. Frankly everyone I know pretty well likes him...all main stream good ole boys and girls hunter types...soldiers realy like him and if you havent heard he is running for Governor of Michigan. Considering that I really dont have a problem bringing people into the fold, even though, like the "Nuge" I'm very outspoken. Yea I recon both me and the "Nuge" are crazy, .....Like the Fox.
You should have seen what I came up with for Surviving the Nuge.
