Ted Nugentism

[Tigerpaw]

I'm not a big fan of Ted because of some of the animals he hunts over seas, but I give him big props since he ALWAYS speaks his mind and will deifnitly put anyone in their place

I was not aware that Ted was illegally or unethically killing animals abroad?? Please explain because this would greatly influence my opion of him!
Thanks

he's not, I just cant hunt zebra's and etc over water holes like some of them do. But hunting is different over their.. one reason I dont hunt there:-P

I understand.
I have been know to have some of the same feelings about muskox hunting. But like you said to each his own as long as it is done ethically.

Ted Nugent: wasn't he the one who got the spring bear hunt canceled
here in Ontario? We are still hurting from this in Northern Ontario.
Other provinces have kept their hunts, so why shouldn't we have one?

Not at all Michael, It was a huge political ploy between the PC gov't and a one of their "financial" supporters, who threatened to pull their funding if the spring hunt wasn't cancelled

I googled Ted Nugent and the Spring Bear Hunt and found this item.
So I stand corrected. But then why boycott Northern Ontario? This only
makes the situation worse

Hunters angry with Ontario decision to ban bear hunt

Deep beneath the snows of northern Ontario, perhaps the largest population of black bears in North America is dozing the winter away.
But above ground, wide awake and angry nearly 1,000 outfitters and hunting guides are getting together to vent about bears and the spring hunt that Ontario's Conservative government plans to cancel.

Some of the people in northern Ontario who say the bear hunt ban will hurt them aren't just angry: they're puzzled. This isn't something they expected from the Mike Harris government, a government long thought of as hunter friendly. It's also a government that just until a few months ago considered the hunt valid wildlife management.

Some blame environmentalists who have fought hard to have the bear hunt cancelled. They say the hunt is cruel, that too many cubs are left orphaned.

For 27 years Texas MacDonald has earned his living escorting Americans into the woods of northern Ontario, like many who rely heavily on the $40 million spring hunt industry. MacDonald says he smells an election: "It's just strictly political," he said. He says it is all about the rural north versus the urban south.

Even fading rock star Ted Nugent has entered the fray. Nugent, an avid hunter, believes the hunt should continue. "They buckled under this ridiculous pressure so we've got to make a stand." Nugent is asking hunters to steer clear of northern Ontario.

This Sunday, a rally is planned in Lindsay, Ont. Organizers say they expect anywhere from 50 to 1,500 supporters to show up.

I was watching that Penn and Tellers Bullsh!t show last night on the CDN Mens channel, and they had a clip of him. If anyone wants to see it, its the PETA animal rights episode, it might be on google video, or youtube.
