Don't be too quick to judge Ted. I suggest you do a little more reserch on him.

1. He's never used drugs.
2. His whimpy bow is set that way on purpose. He advocates the use of a bow that is smooth and graceful. He can and does use a 70+ pound bow when the situation calls for it.

He couldn't hit the deer....I haven't seen the episode, but Ted is an accomplished archer and I suspect there was something that caused him to miss.

I cannot think ofone idividual, living today, other than Ted Nugent, that has been passionatelyinvolved in politics and has done more for usand our hunting rights.

BowHunterJim,
You are as entitled to you opinion as anyone man. Don't let these guys for you to change your beliefs.
This is an argument I am honestly on the fence on, but it's not right to hang some guy because he doesn't view it the same way you do.


Ijust noticed the pun above. I am leaving it there for effect.

Im sorry about saying that Ted was a drug addict. I just did some research and could not find anything that linked him to drug use. I was quick to judge like many other in my generation. I will research what I say before i post it on here. Sorry for all the trouble. Im watching his show right now and its thesame from yesterday.

I think Ted is a complete idiot - for a laundry list of reasons, but I'll hit the high points:
[ul][*]I saw the cribs episode, and can vouch for Jim - Ted can't hit the broad side of a barn;[*]I also personally know a guy who guided Ted and got to know him on a personal level. Put it this way - if Ted wasn't paying people to put live game animals in front of him, he'd be eating a whole lot of tags. In addition to being a terrible hunter, he's apparently pretty ungrateful and moody;[*]I've seen the way Ted acts, and it's unbecoming of an outdoorsman;[*]Ted is a devout supporter of the NRA - and I loathe the NRA;[*]He is an overrated musician;[*]He is completely insane, and I don't like being "represented" in the mediaby a raging lunatic.[/ul]
So, the only thing in common between myself and Ted would be that we both "hunt." But I don't even know if you could call what Ted does "hunting." If -paying people to show you animals, and you shoot at them - is actually hunting.

Ted is the most recognizable and vocal celebrity currently speaking out for hunters' rights and our right to keep and bear arms. So, if he has some things about him I don't like, I'm still willing to work with him because we share many common goals. I don't know of anyone who works as hard at these things as he does, so for that he has my admiration. If he wants to shoot a buffalo in a 4-acre pen and call it hunting (just an example), it really doesn't matter to me because we live in a free country. I do wish this practice was not televised, because I think the non-hunting public doesn't know the difference. The best thing we can do to prevent canned hunting is what goes on right here; ridicule the practice and the practicioners until they stop out of shame. Legally, I don't think anything should be done to prevent canned hunting.

Quick,

It is undeniable that the NRA has done a lot to futher and support our hunting rights (even
bowhunting indirectly). It just seems to me there are a lot of better organizations for a
hunter to "loathe" than the NRA.

BowHunterJim

And no i dont do drugs
