RE: Nugent
Ted Nugent has been the BIGGEST influence to me. I could sing the whole song of Fred Bear when i was only 2 years old. An insult to Ted is an insult to me and i consider myself the biggest Ted Nugent fan. He represents hunting better than anyone ive seen. Ted is the reason i do things the way i do. Anyone who wants to put down Ted better realize that they are lucky someone like him is fighting for our rights to hunt. He contributes more to hunting/anti-drugs than anyone i know.

I do know he pushes knowing Fred Bear.Well dang I knew Fred Bear too back in the '60's learned alot from him,him and Ted are different as night and day.But Ted will be the first to tell you this.
I've met Ted and his sidekick Big Jim.Well I managed to PO Big Jim and I thought my wife was going to PO Ted.But it was more to do with his music,like he said not all are going to like it.
Ok I like Ted and he does alot to promote hunting.He don't hold back on the fact in hunting you are going to have Blood and Guts.Fact you can't get around it and if you eat meat there is no way you should be against it.Only thing with him is most of his hunts are in fenced areas and over bait.I've done both.I know its a matter of time with him,putting out a Show to run all year and still be on the road several months of the year with Concerts.
As far as Celebrities I've met that I wish would do more to promote hunting would be Hank Willams Jr.

I'm just curious about how many you all have met and talked with Ted, had a normalconversion with the guy..

I don't hate the guy, and I don't deny he is passionate about his beliefs. And I have seen him interact with kids, I believe this is his weak spot in his ego. He truly is good with kids, I will give him that.
However he in no way represents how I feel about hunting or the shooting sports. Sometimes I am ashamed to be associated with him. It bothers me that he is pretty intelligent, but half way into a conversation he starts to sound nuts.
Morally I am not impressed at all. Just because he doesn't do drugs or drink (he says) doesn't make him a saint. I know plenty of really messed up people that are not crack heads. And I know plenty of really good people that have addiction problems.
My role models are more along the lines of Chuck Adams, Stan Potts and the likes. And of course my Dad. As far as celebrities go I am much more impressed with Tom Selleck.
Those are my opinions any way.

Oh, by the way I think the Fred Bear song blows. Never did like it. Not real fond of Fred Bear actually. Heck of a business man though, which is what he should really be known for. Then again ethics were a bit different in those days.

I am not that young I have been hunting for 25 yrs now. I just like the fact that he gives the idiot antis heyall and he is not all about killing the biggest animal in the woods like most hunting show are now....

And yeah he does hunt on ranches and stuff often but that is good t.v. and people watch to see animals they don't always see in their neck of the woods,and someone shoot me if I'm worng but he isn't the only hunter on t.v. to do that. But I have also seen him hunting his own property, and taking care/managing his own land.
Oh and can we just get over the whole "You're not a true hunter" thing. I agree that was a stupid thing to say, but don't take that too seriously, that was like a preschooler calling you a poopoohead, don't get to uptight.
