Well, the dust has settled and the gutpiles have all been vultured up and recycled by God's perfect tooth, fang and claw design. So let the grand American BloodBrother party erupt!
For more than 20 years now, some great hunting families — including ours — have stalked, ambushed, killed, gutted, hugged, dragged, skinned, hung, butchered, marinated, cooked up, seasoned, celebrated and served up more than 250 million perfect, hot, pure, yummy, high-protein meals of sacred venison to our fellow Americans in need.
That's right: 250 million, again, from another annual, perfect, natural season of harvest.
With our magnanimous Hunters for the Hungry, Sportsmen Against Hunger and the Hunters and Farmers Feeding the Hungry programs, we have delivered the finest, healthiest rocket fuel for the mind, body, heart, spirit and soul to homeless shelters and soup kitchens across the land.
Most importantly, it's happened without the guaranteed ineptitude and waste of government bureaucrats meddling with a simple neighborly deed.
Hallelujah and pass the garlic-and-butter BBQ sauce, baby. God bless American hunters, the best Americans there are.
As the Nugent family joins this heartfelt celebration of such irrefutable wildlife management upgrade and success, the self-evident truth of conservation, "the intelligent, responsible wise-use" reality rages on.
In this information tsunami day and age, who doesn't know that there are more deer in North America than ever before in recorded history?
Who could possibly not know that from just the five states of Texas, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, hunters kill more than 2.5 million whitetail deer nearly every year?
Who isn't aware that venison is the healthiest, most natural, maximum-nutrition organic food on God's good green earth?
Wait till you get a full-on bellyaching laugh reading letters to the editorfrom the politically correct denial-cult buffoons claiming that these are that crazy Nugent's "opinions."
Facts are facts. Deal with them. Nothing goes better with a perfect meal of venison than a good laugh provided from an animal rights clown.
We really enjoy comedy with our meals. Excuse me while I howl hysterically at the hunter's moon, and pass the delicious grilled backstraps to my friends, baby. Perfect.
I glowed with pride that cold winter day when I ladled out the scrumptious, hearty venison goulash to the homeless families on the not-so-mean streets of Detroit.
Working with my fellow Safari Club International members and our own Ted Nugent United Sportsmen of America and a few other hundred or so volunteer sporting organizations, we prepared huge vats of this delicious chow for some of my down-on-their luck American neighbors.
We were eager to share such quality food with people who otherwise were forced to scrape their next meal out of a back-alley dumpster, as mandated by anti-hunting fanatics who banned the sharing of wild-game meat in some states.
Fortunately, the antihunters have been exposed for the soulless punks they are. Now every state admits and supports the universal, self-evident truth that wild game meat is the best food there is.
We graciously have accepted a humanitarian award from the Salvation Army charity.
Cool. Americans have always done the right thing when our neighbors are in need.
Across the nation and right here at home in Central Texas, every imaginable hunting, fishing and trapping organization is working together to surpass the 250 million-meal mark soon.
Locally the dedicated professional butchers at Fulton's Quality Meats in Waco and deertexas.com are good connections to help out.
We share a lot of this sacred flesh with the families of U.S. military heroes who have lost a loved one in the war on terror, so the donations go straight to the heart and soul of what everybody of goodwill and decency supports.
Make no mistake. In this culture war here at home, those who have a problem with hunting must by all logical conclusions have a problem with venison, which makes them the enemy of this perfect Hunters for the Hungry program.
The line in the sand has been drawn. Remember the Alamo. Me? I'm going deer hunting and get me some meat for people who need and appreciate it. Venison: more perfection from God's pantry of nature, and lots of it.

Mr. nuggent has done more to help groups like peta and other extemist's,
than god only knows who.
Teddy, hang up your toys, go back to the guitar playing thing, and most of all, shut up.

The only good thing about this blowhards columns is that he will soon run out of people and animals he wants to kill and grill,That's what happens when you have a brain the size of the deer you are shooting, Maybe the paper can find someone else from the 70's (the last time Ted had a hit)to write there outdated views of the world

Although I have not been a music fan of Ted Nugent, I admire the man in his efforts to keep the deer and other animal population down. Many areas of this country have population growth, deer, bears, coyotes, wolves. The meat from these animals are used to feed the hungery and needy. Let's keep supporting Mr. Ted in his efforts and not be negative about a person who is trying to turn his life around, and especially with his volunteer work in helping the poor, needy people.
Thank you Ted.

Is it really necessary to include a column from an obnoxious Michigan Yankee like Ted Nugent to explain hunting to Texans?

Ted, Thank you for doing our country this great service. And for those of you complaining about "how" someone writes and opinion column... please, instead of wasting your time complaining and nitpicking... go volunteer somewhere. Get out and see the real world. This country could use more people like Ted Nugent who loves his country and his fellow man so compassionately. And as the Mother in law of a soldier... God bless you, Ted, for your awesome support of our troops.
