Re: Disgusted w/ Ted Nugent

I like how Ted fights for the hunters and hunting also that he stands up for the gun owners. The anti-everything crowd fears him, we need people like him who talk the streight talk and the way it is. Some of his racist remaks I find very offensive. I have not seen any of the TV shows descibed here but I guess it's the "Rocker" in him that makes him do this.;)

I appreciate some of Teds music revolving around hunting and what he does for the hunting community, but that is about it. In my opinion, he looks like he has spent too many nights partying, and his rants about "the beast is dead, long live the beast"...gets sickening. JMO though, I could be wrong, ... blush.gifgrin.gif

Nope Swampy...you definetely aren't wrong!!!!

Yes Tedicast, but I was being a bit myopic in my post. I do apologize to Mr Nugent for assuming that he may be a bit out there for whatever reason, but you got to admit, its not my rantings that make him appear this way. I do like the man, I just think he is a bit over the edge with the spiritual long live the beast stuff. As for Surviving Nugent...I watched one episode where they were killing chickens with their bare hands and eating them and that was the only episode I watched...just didn't care for the show.

However since then his image in my eyes has slipped. It started when he would hunt over corn on every hunting show.

Ranger............Bear in mind, the Nugent family eats 100% wild game meat. It's my estimation that a lot of what gets filmed & aired is not much more than "grocery shopping". I don't see too much fanfare on the show over the difficulty of the hunt when Ted's over bait. He doesn't hide it. It just is what it is. On the other hand.......there are several shows that come to mind that are baited/fenced deals throughout and the hosts........I won't mention any names...............go into stand-placement theory, wind direction, stage of the rut, etc. Makes me laugh. smirk.gif

[/ QUOTE ]

I agree 100%!! On your grocery shopping take. The only red meat in my house is venison. Not one stich of beef in my freezer. However I do not hunt over bait (a big pile of corn as Ted would do) nor do I hunt over a food plot.

I guess I was expecting more from a Conservationist of the Year. I realize he is touring and has little time in a hunting camp like a week with Waddell. It is hard for me to watch "that type" of hunting show that Ted puts together and I expected more from a man that sings about going down in the swamp to get that buck.

His show used to be a Golden Moose award winner smirk.gif

Swampy........

The myopic comment was in reference to an assumption that Ted's personality is a result of "too many nights partying". There is no less a "party animal" in the world than Nuge. Fact.

No....it's definitely not your rantings that cause him to be that way, either. I'm not too high on the whole "beast" ritual, myself. But, like you, I admire the guy for enough other things that I just go "surfing" when his show gets to be too much. smirk.gif

Re: Disgusted w/ Ted Nugent

Just so ya'll know, Ted is the way he is, just for that reason. He's one of very, very few rockers from his era that never got mixed up in alchoholism and drugs. We shouldn't assume someone acts the way they do because of drugs or alchohol. He's just a wildman from birth. I applaud Ted for staying "clean" through his rocker days.

Re: Disgusted w/ Ted Nugent

I never saw the "Surviving Nuge" program so I can't comment on it. The way this particular episode is described makes it sound like Ted is the moron. I'd rather think that the characters involved in the beanathon are the true idiots here! I can only see Ted laughing all the way to the bank at the expense of those fools! smirk.gif

I can take the Nuge more times than not. He is one of the best spokesman for our endeavors in the wild. At times he does get carried away. Realize it is from his heart when he does. We should all fight as hard for what we believe. At some point we are going to have to.

I couldn't agree more. He is not doing this stuff himself. He's making these anti-hunters and hippies and pretty boys and girls do this stuff. How is he humiliating himself. Huntin girl, do you ever fart? Sure you do. We all do. If someone offered you $50,000 to scoop beans off of somebody then you better believe I'd do it. I'd rip one heck of a good one too. National tv or not. Get me the biggest person you can so they have more area and I can get more beans off. I need the money. Most of the people that leave his little show say they are changed by the way he presented things to them. He showed people that he is human and yet he firmly believes and respects their oppinions whether they agree on things or not. I know he tried to debate with our governor at last years state fair in Springfield but the governor doesn't stay in Springfield. He stays in Chicago and wouldn't talk to Ted about allowing former police officers to carry concealed weapons along with military personel. I respect the man and what he does. He's one of our only advocates and like or hate him, we should stand behind this guy as he does for us. TO quote a movie. "You hide behind the rights people like me provide for you and then question the manner in which I provide them."

I guess it takes a certain kind of person that would do that kind of stuff for money. I personally wouldn't lower myself to such lude, crude behavior.

Regardless of what was being done.....Mr. Nugent was initiating it and encouraging it. Just like Jerry Springer.......he's not the one screaming and throwing chairs on his show.......but it's still HIS show nevertheless.

Re: Disgusted w/ Ted Nugent

Haven't seen "Surviving Nugent", but have seen "Wanted Ted or Alive" - is that the same show? I saw a couple episodes last year (Men's Channel I believe) and remember the chicken episode. He get's a charge out of shocking kids that have no clue where food comes from. My grandmother used to whack chickens the same way, but it would have never made good t.v.

I hate "reality" shows for the simple reason they do not represent reality. Now, if they want a real reality show, send some teams off into a real wilderness to actually survive and forget all the games. They either make it or they don't - kind of like army survival training. That probably won't draw many sponsors either.

You know, if no one watches a show it goes away. What worries me is reality t.v. is still around.

Re: Disgusted w/ Ted Nugent

I haven't seen the bean eating show, but, I'm sure that network forked over some B I G $dough$ to Uncle Ted to do these shows. Ted Nugent is still a outspoken proponant of our sport, for that we all owe him thanks.

Wether or not he sold out... is the REAL question.

I'd take the money and run too, just use some of that to help less fortunate people like Uncle Ted does grin.gif

....and just like Jerry Springer there is a crowd who enjoys and watches it. And Jerry Springer too, is laughing all the way to the bank at the expense of those bafoons looking for airtime! We still have choices to either watch or not watch.

Re: Disgusted w/ Ted Nugent

Huntin girl, I don't mean to sound like I was criticizing you for your oppinion but I guess it refers to the old question of what would you do for $50,000? With a newborn on the way, if it isn't a sin or illegal then their isn't a whole lot I wouldn't do as long as it isn't immoral. I have learned that humbling one's self for unselfish reasons is sometimes worth a little humiliation. After all, isn't that why we get married in the first place? LOL. You're still one of the coolest chicks in the coop!!!

I like that comment...these folks chose to go on Ted's show. They made the choice for themselves. As for Ted...he's still fighting for hunting and gun owvership. The more money he has and the bigger crowd/fan base he has...the better we all are.

I personally didn't see the show and really don't plan on it. Doesn't sound like anything that I'm interested in.

So true, but...what's that got to do with Ted Nugent ...LOL

Guess my point was...those folks made the choice to go on the show to try and make some money...didn't care what they had to do to get it.

Ted is just part of the equation...he has the money/status to do the show.

Re: Disgusted w/ Ted Nugent

Whether it's crude or in poor tast or just down right dispicable, you always have to option to change the channel. I am not saying you have to like Ted Nugent or his show but before you say you hate somebody for one thing that they do, examine the things that you have done in front of others and wonder if they hate you for that one act. They may never see you again but you may have left them with the worst image possible of you and you could be the nicest person in the world but you'll never convince them of that because of one act. I guess their's a double lesson in this. One, think about the image you are projecting to others when you do something and two, don't judge a person by just one thing. I always give even the worst person the benefit of the doubt by saying they may have just had a bad day. Now if you hack up your family or go on a killing spree then you have, just possibly, gone beyond the boundary of having a bad day. That's sort of a gray area. LOL I appreciate what Uncle Ted does for me and my kind. He makes hunters like me look tame and more acceptable. Even people that don't like him or hunting, like the more acceptable "normal" folks in the hunting lifestyle.

That I have done and I have paid the price for it in the past. Hoping myself that the brighter side of me will shine to folks in the future, though I won't turn mushy.

Ted has a tough job.
