Ive never hunted with a celebrity but I did get to shoot clays against Jim Shockey. I'd love to go and hunt on one of his "uncharted" expeditions.

Not sure about "celebrities" but have had the privilege to guide Norman Swarzkopf. Heck of a man.

I guided for the West Texas Celebrity Quail hunt for several years and met plenty of them. Some of them were great guys and others were a pain in the posterior! For the most part the less well known they were the better they were to hunt with. A couple of the better ones were Larry Hagman ( really fun guy in person laughed and cut up the whole time) Leroy Jordan and Bob Lilly ( both real gentlemen and super nice guys) John Elliott. ( played for the 69 Jets) was one of my favorites, a really great guy and very down to earth. I won't mention the ones who were on the other end of the spectrum as it serves no purpose.

Same here sir. He likes da to shoot and doesn't care if it is a trophy. He usually is the biggest help we have !shooting does all year! He not only cleans his own but will help anyone on the ranch clean theirs.
His only fault in my opinion is his rough language. He likes the F bomb more than anyone I know

In Iraq in 2005, I got tagged with escorting and pulling security for Aaron Tippin for about 24 hours during Thanksgiving. I really thought he'd be a snotty kind of guy with the way he prances around in his tight t-shirts and all. But he was the most down to earth guy one could expect. He had a genuine care for the troops and just wanted to say thanks to as many as he could and play guitar for them.

We didn't hunt obviously, but we had some great talks about hunting (he's a big turkey hunter) and his place in Tennessee. He's also a Glock guy like me, and we actually hit it off pretty well. I really appreciated his time coming over during the holidays and I became a fan that day.

A friend of mine went to see Nugent in concert here in San Antonio. He was offended that Ted used such fowl language and he was upset that his kids had to hear it. All I could say was "you took your kids to a rock-n-roll concert! What did you expect?"

difference....Celebrities or TV Hunting Show people?

I would love to hunt with Melissa Bachman. She's fun and easy on the eyes, probably a Diva. Several others, but a short list.

Most are phony and full of themselves

So, you're the folks he hunts with up there. He talks fondly of you and your place.

And yes he does use the fbomb profusely (I don't throw stones about that though ;)) . He can and does turn it off when kids are around though.

One of the most awesome teaching moments I've ever seen occurred at my place in uvalde. I try to let him hunt without other hunters around when I can. But as you know his schedule can change a LOT. One time his schedule forced him to overlap with a lot of father/sons. The young boys had no idea who he was but they knew their dad's liked him. Ted was sitting on the couch writing articles and emailing on his laptop and one of the dad's told me the boys wanted to talk to Ted. I asked Ted if he would and he said bring them in. He then went into his empty his pockets and explain why he carries each item (truly amazing what he totes around). And then he tied it all into a little speech on being a man and personal responsibility. Those boys hung on every word. And I can guarantee they'll never forget that talk.

I work with a bunch of guys from Albany. One of them said he escorted Nugent to his stand on a hunt up there. He said the stand was shaped like a big human skull where he shot through the eye sockets.

Yes I have seen him do something like this on many occasions. When he is on his better vocabulary behavior he can be a real inspiration to young kids.
Funny story, once he was hunting with another rancher in the area and went with him to his 13 year old daughters basketball game. After the game he signed their jerseys. One little girl ran up to me and said " I got Ted Nugent's autograph". I asked who he was and she said " I don't know but he signed my jersey!".
Still laugh about that.

Yes that was on one of the ranches up here, they also did a football helmet for a guy and a pink camo stand for Miranda. Fun stuff.

I have been an outfitter and a guide for a long time, getting close to 4 decades. During the last 20 years I have been around TV film crews for hunting shows about a dozen times while guiding for other outfitters, and to be honest, about 80% of them were complete dorks and prima donnas and couldn't hunt their way out of a paper bag. The amount of complete fabrication that occurs in the shows, once they have been put together and edited is mind boggling. Only one I can remember actually appeared to be a seasoned hunter.

As an outfitter I will not take TV crews and have turned down at least 5 in just the last couple years. Ted is one of the few I would actually consider having as a client, as I have heard nothing but good things about him when he has been in others camps. He pitches in and is one of the boys from what I hear. The language.............. pffft, who cares. My wife and I spent a lot of time in the oil field country up north and heck the F bomb is probably the first word out of a babies mouths up there, not Momma or Dadda. LOL I think my wife could give him a good run for the money on that if she tried hard. wink

my top 5 would be.....
1. Miranda Lambert
2. Tiffany Lakosky
3. Nichole Reeve
4. Haley Heath
5. Pigman

the first 4 for obvious reasons, Pigman just because I got to meet him a couple of years back and he shot the bull with my buddy and I for over an hour just telling stories.... would be fun to have in camp.

as for the 1st 4... if my wife ever sees this, I will deny that I typed this post..... someone must have hacked into my account and typed it!!! lol

In camp with us in 2010 was John Wilson of Trophy Quest. In person he was ok even though I do not care for the show. His cameraman, August, was the man with the best stories.

Is hunt with Phil Robinson or the dark haired chick that talks funny on the Winchester show. Don't recal her name but she seems legit.

My best buddy hunted Saskatchewan whitetails a few years ago and Michael Waddell was in camp as well. Waddell spent as much time screwing as many Indian chicks as he could as he did deer hunting. He's pretty much a fraud.

I never thought much of Waddell, anyway. Always seemed fake to me.
