By Ted Nugent
USA – -(Ammoland.com)- Everyone with a soul, a brain, a heart, a conscience, logic, commonsense and an instinctual sense of decency and honesty knows that the self-inflicted scourge of political correctness is a license to lie and deny truth.
Though it rears its ugly head on a painfully regular basis seemingly in every facet of our lives, destroying quality of life at every toxic turn, I’m afraid it has struck a new all-time low, and horrifically right here in our beloved hunting community and industry.
Hunting is part of the role we play in conservation of our natural resources.
It is not an opinion that annual hunting seasons are an absolute scientifically indisputable necessity. Sustain yield, habitat carrying capacity, wildlife population dynamics and annual natural seasonal harvest via management through hands-on value based utility are not opinions. These are all facts of the natural order of creation and its renewable function that is supported and proven through all evidence time immemorial.
Anti-hunting is not a valid opinion. To be against hunting is to be against nature herself and such denial has proven to be dangerous and catastrophic to wildlife everytime it is considered or implemented.
Humankind knows damn well that BILLIONS of animals are slaughtered on a daily basis around the globe to feed us. That is not an opinion. It is a fact.
Meat is food. Period. Wildlife meat is the best food. Period. The opinion that meat may not be some individual’s preferred food is a respected opinion, but to dare interfere with the production of this globally produced food for the masses is virtually insane, unacceptable and must be defeated wherever such hate for mankind exists.
It is bad enough when weird politically correct dishonest fools and scammers preach and lie about such insanity, but when the owner of hunting television networks acquiesce to such insanity [as did Outdoor Sportsman Group (OSG)] by an inconsequential lunatic fringe of ignorant haters and then bans the airing of such time-honored hunting perfection on an entire technology, we have seen man at his worst.
Stan Kroenke, owner of Kroenke Sports and Entertainment, the Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, Colorado Rapids and the London based football club Arsenal has made a segment of his billionaire fortune from the widely popular hunting programs aired on his Outdoor Channel and Sportsmen Channel networks for decades.
Spurred on by the loony anti-hunting freaks in not so jolly old England like abjectly ignorant Rickie Gervais and his crazy friends that wouldn’t know a platypus from a Pterodactyl, lying that killing endangered elephants and tigers is repugnant and immoral, when elephants are not endangered and no one has ever killed a tiger on any of the hunting programs aired, Kroenke showed his spinelessness and dishonesty when he nixed the hunting shows on his new MOTV (My Outdoor TV) app.
So outright lies dictate policy instead of science and truth and our time-honored conservation legacy?
Tragic.
Have these goofballs watched the Travel Channel lately? Have they not seen Andrew Zimmern on his wonderful programs shoot and stab and slaughter every imaginable animal then split their skulls to get at the eyeballs and brains for his meals? Have they not witnessed Anthony Bourdain on Travel Channel and CNN blast and dissect grouse and rabbits and deer and pigs to get at the hearts and livers and kidneys for their wonderful and delicious worldclass meals?
Are they unaware of Discovery Channel, History Channel, A&E and other very popular honest networks whacking and stacking critters galore all over the world, to then butcher, slice and dice, marinate and grill their flesh and guts to feed people?
Are you kidding me?
The liars that succeeded in getting hunting shows banned on MOTV did so with the insane and dishonest squallering that it is somehow “glorifying the murder of innocent creatures”.
And your sushi is guilty of what pray tell?
Anti-hunting/animal rights is a shameful, self-inflicted mental disorder that could only have legs in a world upside down with the lie of political correctness and the fools so soulless to fall for it.
I suppose we can expect such hate and dishonesty from substance abusers and shamelessly disconnected freaks living in the fantasy world and cults of denial. But when such a successful individual as Stan Kroenke sides with such lowlifes, we must call him out, and that is exactly what I am doing right here.
Hunting and eating meat is part of who we are as humans, no matter what anyone claims.
I have been told such outspokenness against such a powerful man seriously jeopardizes the future of our #1 Ted Nugent Spirit of the Wild TV show on Outdoor Channel.
So be it. When honesty jeopardizes anything I do, I always side with honesty, never fools and their lies who make such a terrible and unforgivable stand against everything we know to be true and believe in.
Good Americans must always make a stand. We must never back down, never give in and never give up on truth.
Hunting is perfect and I’m joining the billions of good people worldwide who celebrate Thanksgiving everytime we show ultimate respect for God’s miraculous renewable miracle of creation by killin’ ‘em and grillin’ ‘em. You will get no apologies from us.

PETA: People Eat Tasty Animals…
I’ve been a vegetarian (pescetarian actually) for over 30 years, and I’ve got exactly one thing to say about what Ted wrote… he is absolutely and totally right. Had I grown up in a family that hunted, I fully suspect I would hunt for my own meat. However, I didn’t, and the intellectual dishonesty revolving around the meat industry, both pro and con, instead led me to decide not to eat meat at all. That decision, and the lifestyle choices it has entailed, were my decision, for ME… I in no way ask or demand people do as I have.… Read more »
This is a very mature decision. Truly, it is your choice not to eat meat as it is my choice to eat meat.
I say we start the World Sportsmen’s Channel(Online and otherwise) and bring Uncle Ted, and all the advertisers along with us! Hit the OSG where it counts….in their pockets! I have friends in the UK that lament the fact that they cannot legally take their kids hunting as their father’s and grandfathers did with them! So not all in the UK agree with the tyranny that has been forced upon them. Our fair Planet Earth deserves honest and fair, science based wildlife management and conservation, from those that actually care the most…the Sportsmen of the World!
Ted is on it, and I guess all of the Animal Rights SHs don’t realize they got there brain development from eating meat via evolution. But it is safe to say most of there brain matter is relieved on a daily basis. Trolls will be Trolls.
But I guess XX’s hero is Bill Nye the lying Guy…
Anyone with a brain knows that Political Correctness is nothing more than state sponsored speech and thought – a direct contravention of the 1st Amendment. Thaks to our former molester in Chief Bill “Douche Bag” Clinton it has become the byword of the leftist porkers.
XX is nothing more than a pimple on the ass of America – sucking off the freedom that better men than he will ever be earned by blood, sweat and tears. He is one of those wastes of breathable oxygen.

Double post there, war hero. I would say it’s due to youthful exuberance, but we all know it’s down to senility and maybe a touch of dementia. Ted Nugent is, officially, a self-promoting ballbag who makes a living off reactionary rabble like you. Cat Scratch Fever my @ss. Worst track ever.
For the record, I respect your service and everyone elses, but it does not give you the right to wine and dine off it forever or think that somehow your view is the only view.
@VE Vet, a certain poser, here, has no respect for you, any veteran, or himself. He will never come up with the courage to go out into the world and serve his nation. He does not even have his own opinion, just the propaganda that he is paid to vomit up. He is a tar baby. He is the retarded cousin of logic. He will be food for his socialist neighbors, when the SHTF. He is only allowed to live because a he is in a merciful society.
Hey you gutless Trolls– say that to his face! I’ve seen Uncle Teddy 3 times, most recently just last week in Hampton Beach, NH. He is the real thing, pedal to the metal, 100 octane nuclear rock & roll.. 69 years old but looks more like 50, compared to most of the 1960’s band acts that are left. Time for Ted Nugent to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!!! David Crosby is a pu$$y
@Albbac2, The trolls that post here could not say that to Ted Nugent. The Nuge would mop up the street with them. Then there is that cost of a ticket thing, that they can not afford.
THANK god that we got TED NUGENT a man that got the balls to tell it like it is /THANK TED for tell it like it is
Thank god the usa got men like TED NUGENT we need more men that got balls to tell it like it is/ THANK YOU TED
Gotta love Ted. Always consistent 100% in everything he says and does. God love him.
Nugent is a draft dodging cowardly POS!
So, where and when did you serve ?
I served from Sept ’67 till Dec ’89 so FO!
Tom R, I was not disparaging you, only asking a question. I served May ’63- July ’69, Nam 10 Oct ’65-20 July “69 USMC. MOS-8654 (Force Recon).
Thanks for your service and welcome home !
I would like to thank both of you gentlemen for your service, and observe that, although we may have disagreements about minor things, we are still on the same team; and our many enemies are arrayed against us.
The Nuge is the man! He is likely to get his show canceled. But rather than suck the corporate D and take it, he’s standing up for what’s right. Good for him. And if the outdoor channels take hunting off , it will be GOOD for hunting shows. Why ?becuase they will find a better new media home.
The Nuge. Is there a bigger toolbag than this talentless excuse for a musician? Well, maybe Kid Rock.
@xx… Guess you couldn’t get “it up” to XXX, bonehead.
XX, ignorant as always, at least you are consistant !
@ Jeffe and Mick, Talentless!? This pronouncement from the judgement of one that has never written even one song or so much as turned an interesting phrase!
