Ted is a very intellegent person, and he knows exactly how to create the largest impact onto his audience because he does it "raw". (he creates discussion/debate)

Most of his act is just that, because when he actually gets off of that and talks, as he does in front of legislation and bunny huggers, there is no denying the fact that he knows exactly what he is talking about. And he does us all as hunters untold good.

He does all of the "maniac wildman" stuff just to target the kids in a "raw" exciting fashion. Otherwise, it would be the same as everyone else, lost in the mix, and he doesn't want that. Kids want excitement, otherwise they will not stay interested. And, at the same time it drives the antis (as well as some of us who do not understand the tactic he is using) nuts, and as stated it gets everyone talking. Exposure to the sport is good, pubilicity is good, even if some people think it is bad publicity, they are talking. One thing is for sure, you will not forget who he is when his name is mentioned, even if you didn't know him outside of his hunting show.

And THAT my friends, is superior marketing techniques at work. Pinwheel 12
