I love Uncle Ted. Everybody can have their own opinion but I think he is great.

I dont think anyone is argueing the fact that Ted does alot for hunting and gun owners. That arguement is getting pretty lame! Dont even try and compare what Ted does with his money and what others would do with theirs for our sport if they had half his money! How much money do think Ted makes just from hunting alone?[]
Every frickin time this subject comes up and people give their honest opinion about wether they feel he is a good voice for hunting the Nugent fan club comes in to defend Ted as though we dont have a right to our own opinion. Right here is where I' d put that big ol middle finger icon![>:] Get over it!

I didn' t read through most of the posts, as I got a pretty good vibe off the first few. I just don' t get it. To me, this all seems so judgmental, and that being on a personal level alone. So the guy is eccentric, big deal. He does more good with those eccentric words than dang near any other pro-hunter/pro-gun ' celebrity' (or otherwise) out there. How would you prefer him? Jackie Bushman? Then who? Seems to be many a person bitches about those guys quite often in these forums as well.

So what are you ' complainers' doing to protect hunting and our right to own guns? Are you in schools talking about it? That' s free the last time I checked. Are you on the corner handing out pamphlets encouraging folks to call their local representative' s in an effort to gain more regional support?

I hate to sound negative here, but there is nothing I hate worse than an armchair quarterback. It' s awfully easy to be sitting at the computer bitching about the efforts of someone who does more in one day for hunting than most of us will do in our entire lives.

Just my two cents.

Exactly my point in the above post!!!! Some folks gave their opinion when asked! WHO' S COMPLAINING?

Not everyone is gonna agree on everything. Get the hell over it and move on!

What in the world are you talking about Doug? You are making very little sense.

Doug,

My quote that you used has nothing to do with money. It is time spent protecting our rights. When hound hunting came up on the ballet I took out two new reporters that did positive articles for our state. I wrote my letters. Educated the non hunters that came into my shop. When trapping came up I did alot of the similar things to try and educate. I held youth groups and educated all of my racer buds that don' t hunt, most don' t even have a clue what hunting is. Lots of the younger crowd have moved from the outdoors to the indoors of their cars. You lose the younger you lose your rights to hunt. It is just a matter of time. Ted is one of the few that can reach out in a large way to that crowd and bring them into our world. I have seen him do it a many of occasion. He was at our last company picnic and man can he take care of business. We all may not agree with everything everone does so do what you can when you can on your terms. You are after all the only person you see in the mirror everyday.

Who' s complaining?
