Spirit of the Wild
 

I know this has probably been beaten to death but I just couldn't resist.Man I haven't seen this program in a while,and now I know why Nugent is anoying.Too much noise for me.Any of you like the program or what do ya think.I apreciate what he is trying to do for hunting and shooting sports but the noise irks me to no end.Gues I just wont watch anymore.

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

I just got done watching it. I actually laughed at alot of the stuff. The spirit rock on fire.lol. Its gotten worse with every minute his wifes on it. She has no talent on tv. Sorry. Tedshumoris so stupidIts funny.

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

I did too and was gonna post about it. Did you see the last shot, it was high and a titch back but they showed a shot placement of a perfect behind the should shot. Crap[:'(]

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

It was high because he was 20 feet off the ground. It was a perfect exit. And remember. An Oryx doesnt have the same anatomy as a whitetail.

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

I watched it a few times but Ted's personality just turns me off. Though not in the exact same boat he irks me almost as much as Tred Barta. ;)

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

He is too out there with the "The beas is dead , long live the beast."
I can't handle it. And I even enjoy his old music.

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

His wife got big hooters ,worth watching

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

I agree with drstalker, I don't understand why they even play any kind of music on a hunting show.[:@] The best part is to get into the hunt and I have never heard music when I was hunting. I had much rather hear the birds or brush cracking. If you need background music like a mystery show, then maybe hunting doesn't excite you like it does some of us.

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

I have always liked the Nuge, I think part of it is that there is actually another dude out there as crazy as me.:D:D Sure he may be a little over the top, but his show is different than all the other ones that seem to just blur together. Good guy in my book, wouldnt mind sharing camp with him sometime.

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

"I saw the same thing and agree.



Thanks for the backup stalker..

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

He's just too "over the top" for my taste. I can't stand the guy. He does nothing that I can see to improve the image of the hunter. He's loud, overbearing, totally tasteless and probably turns off more people than he turns on. We all have heard the figures that 10 percent hunt, 10 percent are totally against it and the other 80 percent are undecided. How many of those 80 percent do you figure he's turned the wrong way or the right way.

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

I first knew Ted (not personally) from his rock career. I went to see him many times over the years starting in the late 70's when he had the largest stadium tour of anyone going. When I first started watching his hunting show, I agree, it was a little tough to watch. But, I am pretty much used to him and the way he thinks. He is an extreme individual in everything he does. He's OK my me.

The only critisis I have of his show is the number of sponsors he allows. It seems like 2/3rds of the show are commericals. Everyone wants to sponsor him.

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

I kinda like his shows.. Keeps me laughing... Yea BobCo19-65is rite...His shows are bout all commercials.

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

The best thing about Ted is he doesn't care what anyone else thinks or says.........It will not change him.

No matter what you think of him........he deserves your respect because he is CONSTANTLY fighting the good fight to make sure all of us and future generations can enjoy hunting.

It's easy to critisize from the couch.

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

As I've said before, I'll never forgive Ted for breaking up with the Amboy Dukes.[:@] And NO, I don't like his 'in your face' style or his show. On the other hand, he does admire what Fred Bear did for bowhunting, so he's not all THAT bad.;)

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

I think he lives in Crawford , Texas now, but as for his show I dont really like it much, kinda remind's me of a hunting show on acid...... But as for what he does for bowhunting and hunting in general, seems like a good guy, I have a friend of mine that has run into him at the Acadamy sports store Waco and seems to have nothing but nice things to say about him, before people throw to many rocks at him for his aggressive style of T.V. show, check out his Camps for Kids, seems like he does a great job in promoting hunting ..

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

He does more "fighting for our rights to hunt" than most hunters do. For that, I will be the last in line to criticize his show, his music, or how he appears. He shows me that he is excited about hunting. It turns him on, maybe more than his wife does! Love him or hate him, he isstrong educated speaker that stands up and lets his voice be heard and will not back down to any PETA loving tree hugger that he ever encounters. I say, more power to him!!

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

I like his shows, but there are too many commercials. He actually thinks the same way I do, but I can't(or don't) express myself like he does. He gets completely excited about ANY animal he shoots, no matter how big or little, and that's the way it should be IMO. The thing I respect most about him is that he ALWAYS thanks the men and women in the Armed Forces and Coast Guard for protecting our country and our rights to hunt and fish, no matter what stylewe choose.

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

Yes, he has my respect for that, but also equally important he is model to children and apiring musicians on what can be done and achieved without drugs and alcohol. If you think that Ted ever did either, think again. He is also in a battle to get children and adolescense off the street and into the woods.

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

I agree with Davidmil and Arthur P's opinions....

There is a lot more to Ted Nugent than is led to believe. Skeletons in the closet, as the saying goes... I read about the"issues" below on Ted Nugent, and couldn't believe it myself:

- Ted Nugent avoided the Vietnam war by getting himself classified 4F by being utterly filthy and disgusting bodily-wise. He wore the same pair of blue jeans a week straight before he was to go to the draft board. He willed himself to keep the jeans on no matter what. Yes, people... urinating and defecating in the blue jeans- to which the Army considered him a homeless bum and so disgusting, they threw him out of the room. [:'(]

- Back when Ted Nugent was with the Amboy Dukes (hit song "Journey to the center of your mind"), he didn't know why the band wanted pictures of bongs and water pipes all over the album cover, and didn't understand what the song really was about. Sure Ted.... Sure.... :eek:

He is way too over the edge, but I do appreciate what he does for bowhunting and gun owners rights. But if he could ease up a little, it would do more good, than turning off people.

Just my opinion... others may vary....

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

i agree....i really hate the show

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

I like Ted Nugent and his show. I don't like Tred Barta. Why? I think Ted doesn't take himself that seriously, while Tred Barta does. Also, as someone else said, his wife has big hooters.:D

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

Exactly! 'Spirit of the Wild' was the only show where I have ever seen a deer killed, dressed, butchered, and cooked. Most shows lack the cajones to do even a quarter of that. Of course, that was in seasons past. Now, however, I really think the tv show is in decline. As others have pointed out, it seems like it's all commercials now, there's less information, and the music, while damn good, gets in the way too damn much.

I think what turns off a lot of you is the image and decibel level, but he does that on purpose because most of those non-hunters you worry about him turning off, need the excessive noise level just to make them pay attention. They're too plugged into their iPods. Say what you will about him, but it's hard to ignore him, and that's why he does things the way he does. And, of course, no one makes you watch his show, but you still do. [:-]

In any case, the Nuge is awesome in concert. I can't wait to see him in Detroit at the end of August, for like the umpteenth time. There's no other rock show in the world where you will see that much camo in the crowd! :D:D:D

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

Ted preaches anti-drugs and anti-alcohol .. those are GOOD things. He's also one of THE MOST outspoken backers of hunting and the 2nd Amendment. He dedicates much of his time to it all too

That said ......... he'sa bit of a freak. I dont like his canned/type shows either. The animals he's killing comes in on a trail of corn mix ........ not my thing boys. he COULD have an awesome show though if he wanted to

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

10-4 Datamax, I agree.

HAHAHAHAH CARDEER>>>>>that had me laughing outloud.

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

Is this a new thing ,including links to members profiles? Or has your brain been datajacked?:D

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

I like what he does for kid's and his constant message about the importance of family and to live clean (free from alcohol and drugs).He is definitely a strong advocate for us!
I do fear that his passionate personality may overwhelm people and turn people off or against what he is trying to accomplish!I would prefer a more respectful (in my opinion) approach.A lot of people don't like the loud in your face kind of stuff.

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

No Bowfinatic I just got lazy and copy and pasted there handles,my bad[&o]I agree with alot of what everyone says about anti drug,alcohol,pro hunting and youth hunting.

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

In a world of outdoor/hunting TV that has become sooooo routine and boooooring, Ted and Tred are a refeshing change. And cudos to Ted for tossing in a little eye candy in the form of his hot wife. At first his over the top religious, protein of the gods rhetoric was a little annoying but now I respect and admire his obvious excitment, passion and joy of hunting and the outdoors. Another thing I like is it seems he concentates more on the "food for the table" aspect of hunting than the endless "POINTS"and "SCORING" of bucks crap that so many other shows go on and on about. I beleive one of the worst things for the hunting movement are the shows with guys like Kim Hicks and Fred Eichman I beleive his name is, his show is put on by Easton. These guys go on and on about trophy this and trophy that, if you count they say the word trophy 10-20 times in the course of a show. They are always on some exotic hunt that they obviously paid 10's of thousands of dollars for and all they give a schitt about is the head on the wall.. I'm not saying that Ted does'nt do the trophy thing, just that on the show he pushes the "food for the family"/"protein of the gods"beleif that the lord put animals on this earth for our consumption.

Metro

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

Good points Metro !I agree with the horns/food thing.I do like to see shows where the host has big enough nards not to worrry about showing how they dress out deer or game,and show some blood.I like the emphasis put on the meat, and do think that is more acceptable than trophy talk.I STILL HATE THE NOISE:D:D:D!!

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

LMAO, He's cheated on every wife he' s had including his current wife and has a child he never saw for years. Importance of family, oh boy that's a good one.

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

Hi Charlie,
I'm not aware of his history.I'm not a fan of his music and know nothing of him other than what I have read in hunting publications and having watched his show a couple times.So if he actually is saying one thing and doing another I would not respect or condone that!
I don't know him from adam! Apparently you do.If what your saying is fact then he would lose any support from me!

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

Ted Nugent, the '70s rocker and entrepreneur, has reached a support agreement with the Dover woman he fathered a child with in 1995.

Nugent will pay Karen Gutowski $3,500 monthly in child support, and she will have sole custody of their son, now 10, under the agreement.

The court has not set out visitation rights, but the agreement allows Nugent visitation under conditions the mother deems appropriate. Nugent, who never made an appearance at Strafford County Superior Court for the proceedings, still will have the right to the child's school, health care and other records.

The child was born in April, 1995, after Gutowski and Nugent had a "brief relationship" related to Nugent's music, Gutowski's attorney has said. Gutowski sued Nugent for child support and legal custody in 2003. He was served with papers informing him of the suit Sept. 5 when he played at the Meadowbrook Amphitheater in Gilford with ZZ TOP.

Nugent acknowledged earlier in the case that he is the father and paid "minimal" support but has never met the boy.

Nugent, whose hits include "Cat Scratch Fever", was the nation's top ticket seller from 1977 to 1979. He played 180 concerts in 1994 and has sold more than 30 million albums.

He also is a renowned hunting enthusiast, a member of the National Rifle Association's Board of Directors, and has made several successful entrepreneurial endeavors based around hunting.

He has been married to his wife, Shemane Nugent, since 1989. The couple lives in Michigan and has two sons and two daughters. Nugent has been named Father of the Year at his children's school, according to his official Web site,

IFmy Dad was cheating on my Mom I'd nmae him somethind other then Father of the year.

His second wife was underage at the time of their wedding also.

Hey Charlie what up dog:DYou been eating any of that hog meat up yet?

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

Hog meat?????????????? What you talking about Willis?

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

Charlie I apologize,I hog hunted recently with a Charlie P from another web site.I'm sorry for getting you two confused[&:][&:]I feel like a goof now:D

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

I think Charlie must be related to one of Teds one night stands, he sure seems to have a grudge againt Ted every single time his name is brought up.........

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

No grudge, I just give people facts when I hear about Ted's family values.

Don't you have some high fences to fix?

RE: Spirit of the Wild
 

I enjoy his show, and I enjoyed meeting him. But that is my personal opinion. I don't think their is a gray area regarding him. You either like him, or you don't.
