Ted Nugent goes hunting

I saw the Ted Nugent show for the first time the other day. It was Michigan opening day for guns.
Nugent was in a big stand that set up about 15 feet on poles. It looked like it was made of plastic. It had solid walls, and a roof. There were rectangular slots, about 8 inches by 2 feet, to shoot from. The stand looked big enough for 4 people.
Nugent looked at the camera and said, "There are 800,000 armed citizens in the Michigan woods today, and I am one of them!"
I liked the way he said that.
By and by a big buck came out at 60 yards. Nugent was shooting a bolt action shotgun, and using slugs. This gun had an unusual scope, very long.
Nugent made a spine shot, right in the middle of the buck's body. I thought at first he had mistakenly made a high, and to the rear, lung shot.
But no, he said that was just what he was aiming for. The buck dropped in its tracks. Nugent looked at the camera and said, "That is a nice buck, but this is Michigan, and we can do it again."
In a few minutes a doe was standing ten yards past the dead buck. He fired, once again a spine shot, the doe dropped.
Then a doe came out at 140 yards. I thought this would be a long shot for a shotgun, but Nugent nailed the doe right in the spine, she dropped dead.
Nugent looked at the camera and said, "Lee Harvey Nugent here, what a sniper!"
The guy is a wild man.
Then, he shot a third doe at 190 yards, right in the spine. He had four deer piled up there, within sight of each other, in that corn field. The guy is a good shot with that shotgun, I didn't know they were that accurate.
I sure wouldn't want to gut 4 deer in one day, I guess Nugent has some servants to do that work.
He said he was going to donate the venison to a "Hunters for the Hungry" program.

He is a jerk, big time...
Maybe he is in your opinion. Lets not forget he is out there non stop doing his best to promote our hobby and sport. Love him or hate him, you do have to admire is passion. His book, God Guns and Rock and Roll is worth the read.......
All of us have our quirks. I personally dont like hunting from a stand like that but he does. The fact that he donates the venison is admirable...we have the same program in Texas and Arkansas and lots of hunters give their 2nd or 3rd tag kill to this organization.
I would take more of his type speaking out for us than more of Sweaty Teddy or Dianne Frankenstein or any of the other anti-gunners or anti-hunters speaking against us.
There's nothing wrong with the "NUGE" its some of the people here we have to worry about
There's lots wrong with the "Nuge"
140 yards with a shotgun? Not bad, not bad at all!

C'mon Beth, and I was jest startin' to like ya![;)][:D]
But...
I like it that he is out celebrating the fact that he is one of 800,000 armed citizens in the Michigan woods.
I like it that he is a good shot.
How many rock and rollers/movie star types celebrate the second amendment, and hunting? Very damn few.
I have always said, if a guy is hunting legally, and he makes humane kills, and he sees to it that the meat is eaten then he is ok with me.

Go Nuge!

geeeezzzzz.......[V]
I think very highly of him.

Better watch it, Ted might put you in a
"strangle hold"[;)]

Why? What makes you think he's a jerk?
always comes off as a scary half crazed gun toting jerk..
Have you read any of your post?????? Don
I have seen his shows,..I have watched the interviews with him, read many articles about him (author interviewing him) and he always comes off as a scary half crazed gun toting jerk..
I have seen a few of his interviews and he seemed pretty level headed to me. I'm sure it is our different expectations of the man.
On a side note I heard a song on XM Deep tracks the other day. it was an acoustical guitar and I actually thought it might be Chet Atkins. It was Ted!!!
A very talented man.

Funny I always thought he was more for archery than anything everytime I caught his show it seemed like he was always using the bow.

Hm. I've seen a few of his interviews, didn't see anything that much off base. Could you be a bit more specific, maybe I missed something. I am just curious, I am not trying to start an argument or pick on you or anything.
Beth might also be referring to his past penchant for very nubile and underaged young ladies! [:0]
Why, was she one? Don
