Tell Outdoor Channel: Ted Nugent's Poaching is Not Entertainment


Tell Outdoor Channel: Ted Nugent's Poaching is Not Entertainment
The Issue
Earlier this year, the Outdoor Channel filmed Ted Nugent as he hunted a buck too young to be legally hunted. The episode aired in February on the show Spirit of the Wild.
California Officials investigated this incident and found that the immature deer had been eating bait called C’mere Deer. Baiting wildlife is illegal in California.
Ted Nugent was brought up on 11 charges of poaching, to which he pleaded no contest. He was fined $1,750.
And what happened to his television show? It remains on air. The Outdoor channel airs several other shows on hunting, but the channel also attempt to promote conservation and responsible hunting practices. Ted Nugent has not followed a hunter's code of ethics, and the Outdoor Channel should cancel his show.
