Ted Nugent And Archery

Ted Nugent and Archery:

When I think about Rock 'N Roll, One of the first names I think of is Ted Nugent. Throughout the 70's and 80's “The Nudge” as he is so dearly called, Rocked the world with hits such as “Cat Scratch Fever” and the anthem of “Wang Dang Sweet Puntang”. As he got his start around the mid 70's as Ted Nugent and The Amboy Dukes, A lot of his material is actually written from a hunters point of view. In 1974 Ted embarked on trying to record and manage his own albums and tell his story his way. Bad management decisions didn't help in his devours one bit. Still yet a classic album was born with the title “Tooth,Fang and Claw”. In my opinion this album was his greatest work that he ever let out the studio. This was the year that his daughter Sasha was born, Hence the song “Sasha” with the lyrics “Smile, Sasha Smile, You make my life worth while”. This album also included the anthem “Great White Buffalo”. One particular favorite of mine was a song called “Living' in the Woods”, “Living' in the woods, Feeling mighty good, I feel good, I got my face in the wind baby.

This particular song was an anthem of his love of nature and of the game of hunting. “If you see me coming round, Knife in my pouch, Listen to the birds that flow down south”. Here is where we get our first real glimpse of Brother Ted as we know him today. We can also say that this is where we first get a taste of The Motor City Madman at his peak. As an Ohioan myself, I see a lot of Brother Ted in myself often. A lot of people confuse Ohio and Michigan as the Midwest, Which we don't ever consider ourselves to be in the Midwest. We do consider ourselves to be hunters, We take great pride in our hunting, Fishing and love of our rivers and woods. There is nothing like a good deer steak, Or any good wild game. This is the way that God meant for us to live, This is were Archery for a lot of us folks comes into play. There's nothing like taking down a deer or other wild game without firearms. Archery is a much more human clean way to go in for the kill. Quiet and at close range, For food, not just to kill something. This is where a lot of these so called animal rights people get off the beaten path.

The sport of Archery in hunting isn't killing, It's the art of survival and being part of the food chain. I personally don't understand how anyone can be a total vegetarian. The human body need vegetables for sure, But God meant man to eat meat.
