Nugent is great when he is preaching to the choir, buy he turns off alot of people that don' t hunt but vote. Just like baldwin, streistand and madonna.

Who do you want to represent us, someone like Jackie Bushman or Ted Nugent?

I' d rather have someone like Dave Watson. He also speaks out for us hunters. I know he doesn' t get on politcall incorrect. Nor does he go on shows to push his books, but he is a very good voice.

I like Ted' s in your face, no nonsense approach. He' s straight forward, tells it like it is, and doesn' t beat around the bush. He' s different, but so are you & I. Fred Bear I highly doubt it, nor do I see where he' s trying to be Ol' Fred. I' m jealous he got to spend some time & knowledge with Mr. Bear! As far as his TV show, I enjoy it. So what if he hunts at Sunrize Safari' s most of the time, and sometimes over bait. He enjoys himself, and thats all any of us want to do, only he fights for us to do it! And speaking of bait, is hunting over a farmers man made planted corn field or a food plot a whole lot different then throwing some on the ground near your stand! I personally don' t do it, but I do take advantage of farmers fields.

It' s nice having a right wing, gun toting, pro-second amendment activist who can articulate what is right about the shooting sports. More importantly, it is important that we have our spokesman in the Hollywood world of liberializm.
I' ll take all the help we can get

Charlie P
I have Personely Hunted At his ranch in Jackson Michigan, And I did not see one bait pile in the 500 acher ranch except for the feed they put out for the Russian Boars. On a diffrent note, last month someone broke into his ranch and shot 70% of all his animals including all of his Buffalo.

Not many people outside of the " hunting world" know who Fed Bear is (was). Back in his prime, there weren’t thousands of people trying to stop him and other hunters from hunting. If you were trying to find the " Fred Bear" of today, most people would look at someone like Chuck Adams. But again, the enemy would say " who is Chuck Adams, and why would we care about what he thinks or what he does?" To be heard, it helps to be known. Lots of famous people hunt. There are probably even quite a few that bowhunt. But how many of them are out there everyday fighting for us, defending our rights to hunt? I can only think of Charlton Hesston and Ted Nugent. As for Hesston, his fighting days are over.

Another good thing about Uncle Ted is that, like it or not, people like him are our best recruiters for young people (besides their parents). I would not be a bowhunter today if it weren' t for him. As a kid, I always went gun hunting with my beer drinking, dog running, redneck family, but no one ever taught me or showed me how to be the true hunter / ethical outdoorsman that I am today. I happened to see Ted Nugent in concert when I was 15 or 16 years old. He shot a flaming arrow at a huge speaker from his bow, on stage. That started it all for me. I say we need more people like Ted Nugent.

Turkeyreaper, I' ve seen it on his show many times. Elk,exotics, whitetail and pigs all shot over corn. He doesn' t try and hide it and it' s legal.

My reponse was to this.


He hunts places all the time where somebody does his scouting and stand placement. It' s no different then most show on TV.
