Whats everyone's opinion of Nugent?
 

Just got finished watching a TV episode of Nugent's 'Spirit of the Wild' and I'm not sure if I feel Nugent brings more harm than good to the sport of bowhunting. Yes, I know Nugent has a big heart and has his Kids Camp and all but sometimes I feel Nugent is one brick short of a foundation with his phrases, quotes, etc. Seems like Nugent is kinda course and weird. I could believe all the advertisements for Limb Savers, Nuge Java, etc. Talk about modern technology having invaded archery!

Whats everyone's opinion?

Nugent is Nugent. He doesn't give one rat's butt what the antihunters(or anyone else)thinks of him. He ripped Bill Mayer so bad on Politically Incorrect, it was funny. Besides, how many other musicians use bows and flaming arrows in their shows ??? A far as Ted hurting archery, I don't really think so. Hmmmm, I think I'll go listen to Cat Scratch Fever. [8D]



ps; Charmaine is easy on the eyes.

outlaw. like Willie Nelson or Hank Jr... doesn't give a rip what anyone else thinks, his way is the right way no matter how right or wrong it is.. sometimes we need that.

Noisy.

I see him as a good counter-balance to the extreme animal rights types. And I suspect that's his intended audiance.

I've been P.O.'d at him ever since he broke up the Amboy Dukes. ;)

RE: Whats everyone's opinion of Nugent?
 

Wow!!! Somebody else remembers the Amboy Dukes.

Nuge is true to himself and that is something some of us could do more frequently. Wild, loud, colorful? Yes! A benifit to the hunting community, YES!

Tooth Fang and Claw ROCKS!!!

Interesting - Nugent is sure one interesting individual!

I love the idea that he still shoots instinctively! Wonder why he shoots a compound vs. a recurve?

RE: Whats everyone's opinion of Nugent?
 

I think he shoots a compound because his sponser is renagad archery

The guy was in the Damn Yankees with that loser from Styx. He speaks like he knows everything. Only a fool believes their own opinions are of so much value as to be un-open to debate. Calling him a musician is an insult to musicians everywhere. I hate him. The again I'm a Wilco fan so...

RE: Whats everyone's opinion of Nugent?
 

I HATED Styx and didn't like the Damn Yankees either.

I think a guy like Wensel or Asbell bring a little more class to the table and are a much-better representative of what traditional bowhunters are like!

His somewhat manic personality aside ,
Nugent is an excellent advocate for the outdoors . He is an ardent Second Ammendment supporter , on the board of the NRA , and doesn't flinch or back down when confronted by those who would abolish hunting and private ownership of guns . Yeah , he's a little hard to take on the surface , but if you've ever seen the episode of Politically Incorrect where he shredded not only Bill Maher but Gloria Allred as well you would have cheered too . He was totally calm , never raised his voice , countered every illogical liberal claim they made , and generally made one of the best arguments for the outdoor sports that I've ever heard . Nugent was the only reason that I've ever watched that show , and I wasn't disappointed .

RE: Whats everyone's opinion of Nugent?
 

He's brash & maybe even a little kooky sometimes, but he's on our side, is non-aplogetic, & definitely doesn't back down. I also believe that his career long anti-drug/pro USA message has helped more kids than we'll ever know.

I certainly don't agree w/everything he says, but consider him a patriot & a (battle-ready) 4 star general in our fight against the liberals.

RE: Whats everyone's opinion of Nugent?
 

I like him, I think that maybe his show needs a bit of polishing up. You cant really be talking about the spirit of the wild if you are shooting a pig from under a feeder. My opinion but i do agree he is a counterbalance for the extreamests.

RE: Whats everyone's opinion of Nugent?
 

I have read in numerous national publications that Ted is the most sought after inteview/guest in matters relating to gun-control, the Second amendment, and hunting. He is THE best known NATIONAL personality in the areas mentioned above. Regarding his equipment, he is an entertainer and is paid big bucks to use the stuff he advertises. I'll bet if Simms offered us 100K per year to use limb savers, we would have em on our bow (wheels that is!). I hope he is active another 50 years.

Heck I like the guy in fact my pic's in his Mag!!!

RE: Whats everyone's opinion of Nugent?
 

Love 'em . . . . watch "Spirit of the Wild" every chance I get.

I think he is great for the sport.

I think WE as hunters should figer out how to all get to geather to fight the ANTS not A felow hunter.

He is diffrant that will never make a man bad.

No matter who you are someone can find something you do that makes them mad. The hardest thing is to figer out how to hunt with them with out telling them about it.

RE: Whats everyone's opinion of Nugent?
 

I think he is good at promoting archery... and guns... My two favorite things in life.
