Ted Nugent: I Should Have Known Better

Ted Nugent: I Should Have Known Better

I’ve been reluctant to post anything about this incident, but since the anti-hunters, anti-Nugent forces are all aligning to pile on, I figured I should weigh in.

Here’s the deal:

Aug. 13–Rock star and gun rights advocate Ted Nugent was fined $1,750 today in Yuba County Superior Court after pleading no contest to baiting deer on his hunting show “Spirit of the Wild.”

Yuba City attorney Jack Kopp, representing Theodore Anthony Nugent, 61, entered a no contest plea to Department of Fish and Game charges of baiting deer and not having a deer tag “countersigned” at the closest possible location, said Deputy District Attorney John Vacek.

Baiting deer is legal in some states but not in California, said state Fish and Game spokesman Patrick Foy. Baiting supplies are sold at some outdoor stores, he said.

The deer was killed in El Dorado County toward the end of deer hunting season last fall but brought to Yuba County. Two co-defendants, Mitchell Neil Moore and Ross Albert Patterson, live in Yuba County, said Vacek.

Moore was a photographer on the show. The role of Patterson, who pleaded no contest to taking an animal with bait, was not clear, said Foy.

Moore and Patterson also were represented by Kopp and did not appear in court. Moore, who pleaded no contest to possessing an animal illegally, agreed to a fine of $700. Patterson agreed to a fine of $1,225, Kopp told Judge James F. Dawson.

All three men were ordered to pay the fines by Oct. 1.

So what makes this a HOLY SHIT WE GOT TED MOMENT? Well of course it’s because he’s an outspoken advocate for Hunters, for ETHICAL Hunting, for Gun Rights, for ALL things AMERICAN.

Everyone knows I’m a huge fan of the “NUGE” I’m a hunter, I’m a fisherman, I’m an American, I believe in damn near everything this man believes in and he’s got a pulpit to shout from. You’re damn right I support this guy.

Ted’s Official  statement:

To my Fellow Outdoorsmen…. You may have read the news that I pled no contest to two misdemeanor game violations in CA. I should have been better informed, more aware and I take full responsibility. Our honorable hunting lifestyle is my deepest passion.

Ted Nugent.


So the man made an error in judgment. Forgiven?. Uh Well Maybe not.

Seems as though the hunting community is taste testing the flesh. Cannibalism is running rampant throughout the hunting community. Ted’s always had his detractors. Ted’s not exactly shy about his beliefs and he’s pissed a lot of folks off. Maybe that’s why I’m a big supporter of him. Very rarely does he apologize for ANYTHING. IF he did or said something that offended you, you may as well just learn to love it…

But the Hunting Community should be his biggest supporter. We all support hunting in our own ways. Tags, licenses, equipment are all ways we support hunting, but what else do you do? Are you on the front lines against the anti’s? Ted is and he’s fended off NUMEROUS legal, and ridiculous attempts to silence him. He’s been fighting the good fight FOR ALL OF US as long as I can remember. He’s one of the biggest supporters of our Military and LEO’s. He’s kickin ass and takin names 24/7, and some in the community want to jump on this issue as a “OH MY GOD” moment?

I suggest you hunters take stock in the fight we are in and realize there are very few folks out there with the guts to tell it like it is. And when you find one, you better support that person come hell or high water. He made a mistake and he paid his fine. THE END.

Do you quit supporting your favorite NASCAR driver when he gets a speeding ticket or in a wreck? Please.


The facts of this particular incident are shady at best. I know from people that were actually there during the hunt in question. There are a few facts that people don’t know. I’m not going into all the details but I’ll share this little bit with you:

The “spike” he was accused of taking was LEGAL. Taking a “Spike” in CA is akin to killing a child. IF Ted actually killed a “SPIKE” he wouldn’t have got off with a fine.

The buck had a fork, it was a good clean shot on a YOUNG Buck. Ted hunts for meat. Ted eats what he kills, Ted also donates meat to the homeless. PERIOD.

Ted entered a plea of NO CONTEST to POSSIBLY hunting within 400 yrds of Bait. According to folks that were there NO C’mere dere was used. There was an Apple Orchard on the hunting grounds, in California I guess that’s bait. The threat of massive law suits, and ridiculous charges against Ted’s friends was enough to get Ted to fall on the sword and enter the plea. I say Kudos for protecting yourself and your friends. We pick our battles and HUNTERS in CALIFORNIA are pretty much screwed. IF ted were in AMERICA, this wouldn’t have been an issue. California is ridiculous in it’s laws, and most of the Fish and Game idiots don’t have a clue about the laws.


Many of us have told Ted stay the hell out of here. Do not hunt here in this state until we are able to undo the damage the liberpukes have done. Ted’s answer…”NOPE. I’m going to kill more shit in that state for spite, I’ll just be better informed” Gotta love it.

I’ll leave you with last nights George Lopez Show:


Yep that’s a man unafraid to speak truth.

Okay, now I’m sure the Anti-Ted troll brigade will find their way here and put fourth their clear and concise argument why Ted is a bad man…I’m sure the usual “Draft dodger” and “Child molester” comment from those that hate Ted, hunting, guns, America and anything that resembles the country we used to or could be….Beware, Ted is a little nicer to his detractors than I will be in MY BLOG.
