@@robertallen3912 not a fan of Ted’s politics period. But as an outdoorsmen and Michigander myself, I can’t help but love the dude. There’s no better anthem for the deer camp.
Seen Ted Nugent in concert many times and I enjoy his music. This song and Great White Buffalo are classic. I met him at sporting goods store in Waco a few years ago and I was blown away by how nice he was. I'm looking at bows and I saw him several feet away. I want to tell him how much I Liked his music. I walk up to him and told him I was a huge fan. He talked to me like we were friends. I'm having a conversation with a rock legend about bows and bow hunting for about ten minutes. For a true Rock legend to spend the time to talk to me about one of his passions was awesome to say the least. I still get pissed off when people say negative things about him. He's honest and if the liberals don't like it that's their problem. We're just tired of them pushing their Socialistic ideas on the rest of us. Thanks for the music Ted God Bless.
I saw him at a little backwater sports shop in NJ once. Like you said, he's a genuine down to earth guy that's passionate about hunting and the outdoors
Rock on my friend. I have only every heard great things about him in person. His music is pure, his soul is pure, we need to recognize people like that more whether or not we agree on everything. In his case I do pretty much every time lmao
My brother in law is good friends with Ted Nugent. He goes hunting with him. We went to Nugent's shop in Michigan once and he was sitting behind the counter just ripping riffs on his guitar. Awesome.
Why do people insist on watching a video of someone they despise and then make nasty comments? Even if you disagree with his beliefs he is an excellent musician.
I don’t give a shit about his politics or rantings, just as Roger Waters has some radical views, but I still listen to Pink Floyd. I’ve always thought that Nugent was one of, maybe THE greatest and most original of rock guitarists. I just make it a point not to get my political and social beliefs from guitar players, comedians or reality show hosts.
As a former liberal I have to say since I've seen how corporate America works. If Ted was a bleeding heart liberal, I'm pretty sure not many would be calling him underrated. Just my observation. He was definitely an early target of cancel culture, but they failed. Just like everything they are trying will fail. But to each his own! Peace!
My dad always did since I was young every year . Opening day he listened every year and never killed a deer on opening day. Next year comes and he forgets to listen and kills his first opening day deer 😂
I grew up idolizing Fred waaaay back when I was still in single digits!!! He was a hero, read so many stories about him! Like the time he took his worst bent arrow to shoot behind a leopard 90yds.out lying on a ledge to bring it closer in India! .......Shot it through the lungs!!! Thanks for the help computer machine thigamajig!!!
I have two Fred Bear bows (recurves) FB was an inspiration to me in my youth, read his books and theses skill set have made me a successful hunter. long live Fred Bear in the hearts of every bow hunter.
I have a Fred Bear Kodiak Magnum . 45lb pull. Got it 43 years ago from my buddy. $25.00. Plus a dozen arrows. Arrows gone. My favorite bow to hunt with. It’s lite.
There I was back in the wild again. I felt right at home, where I be-long. I had the feeling, coming over me again. Just like it happened so many times be-fore. eh. The Spirit of the Woods is like an old good friend. Makes me feel warm and good in-side. I knew his name and it was good to see him again. Cause in the wind he's still a-live. Oh Fred Bear Walk with me down the trails again. Take me back, back where I be-long. Fred Bear I'm glad to have you at my side my friend And I'll join you in the big hunt before too long Before too long. It was kinda dark, another misty dusk It came from a tangle down be-low. I tried to re-mem-ber everything you taught me so well. I had to de-cide which way to go. Was I a-lone or in a hunter's dream. Cause the moment of truth was here and now. I felt his touch I felt his guiding hand. The buck was mine forever more!! Oh Fred Bear Walk with me down the trails again. Take me back, back where I be-long. Fred Bear I'm glad to have you at my side my friend And I'll join you in the big hunt before too long Before too long. We're not alone when we're in the great outdoors We got his spirit We got his soul He will guide our steps and our arrows home The restless spirit still roams Oh Fred Bear Walk with me down the trails again. Take me back, back where I be-long. Fred Bear I'm glad to have you at my side my friend And I'll join you in the big hunt before too long Before too long.
People say they hate Ted Nugent. Why? Because he speaks his mind? Doesn't he have the right to do that, just like everyone else? The people I hate are the ones who want to restrict others. You don't like hunting, so you want it taken away from those that do enjoy it. If you don't like hunting, then don't hunt. No one is forcing you to do anything. Same goes for the second amendment; If you don't like guns, don't buy one. No one is forcing you to buy a gun, and the idea that law abiding citizens who own guns are the problem is completely ludicrous. Ted is correct when he points out how idiotic the liberal mindset is. If you "hate" Uncle Ted, it's because you hate the truth. All liars hate the truth.
SharkyOhio yes I hate ted because the fact he has a differing political opinion that I, and that causes horrible damage to my pathetic snowflake feelings jk I love uncle ted rock on dude
I was just 10 in '77 and always thought Ted was Crazy, of course I loved him! I was too young to realize he was a genius and to this day, still is. Live forever "America's-Motor City Madman" Thank You Ted for Everything Great you have given to this Amazing Country! I admire everything about you, G3
He's a great guitar player and writer and a great bowhunter he never puts down a.man that shoots a.Longbow or recurve and I respect him for that and he always says what he think.And uncle Ted will always have my respect keep rocking Ted.
Well, the lyrics are wierd. Its similar to Iron Maiden writing about long distance running, which they have. He is writing about shooting animals with bow and arrows..its too specific to make a good song imo.
Ted can play the guitar..hands down..been a fan since Stranglehold...also seen him in concert at the Coliseum in Richfield Ohio many years ago before I went in the service...love his dedication to the Armed Forces
Beginning of this song is probably my favorite part of the whole piece. It is really exciting and unexpected. Rest of the song is good but the beginning passages are for me the most memorable part of the entire piece.
Anyone from Michigan can tell you Ted is pure Michigan just by the way he looks and acts. Michiganders will know exactly what I mean, no explanation needed.
Ted is an Icon of rock and roll and heavy metal-he is a man who enjoys life and you will never doubt where he stands -vocal -he speaks his mind-we all envy him for his dedication to the USA and its veterans-I am a veteran and a bow hunter-he’s welcome to my camp anytime
There I was, back in the wild again And I felt right at home where I belong I had that feelin' comin' over me again Just like it happened so many times before The spirit of the woods is like an old good friend It makes me feel warm and good inside I knew his name and it was good to see him again "Cause in the wind he's still alive Oh, Fred Bear, walk with me down the trails again Take me back, back where I belong Oh, Fred Bear, I'm glad to have you at my side, my friend And I'll join you in the big hunt before too long Before too long It was kinda dark, another misty dusk And it came from a tangle down below I tried to remember everything he taught me so well I had to decide which way to go Was I alone or in a hunter's dream? "Cause the moment of truth was here and now I felt his touch, I felt his guiding hand The buck was mine, forevermore Because of Fred Bear I'll walk down these trails again Take me back where I belong Oh, Fred Bear, I'm glad to have you at my side my friend And I'll join you in the big hunt before too long We're not alone when we're in the great outdoors We got his spirit, we've got his soul He will guide our steps, he'll guide our arrows home The restless spirit forever roams Fred Bear, walk with me down the trails again Take me back, back where I belong Oh, Fred Bear, I'm glad to have you at my side, my friend And I'll join you on the big hunt before too long Oh, Fred Bear, walk with me down the trails again Take me back, back where I belong Oh, Fred Bear, I'm glad to have you at my side, my friend And I'll join you in the big hunt before too long In the wind he's still alive In the wind he's still alive In the wind he's still alive In the wind he's still alive In the wind, I hear, I hear Fred Bear (I hear ya Fred, Talk to me, Yea, Its all right Yea, lets go hunting baby Say Fred, you go up that ridge And I'll go down in the swamp We'll get that buck) (Fred) (If some of our teenage thrill seekers really want to go out and get a thrill. Let them go up into the north west and let them tangle with a Grizzly bear or Polar bear or brown bear and get that effect that will cleanse the soul)
I’m looking around and wondering who can make electric come to life this way? Joe Bonamasso maybe? But, he’s more Rock Blues, I’m thinking Nugent is the greatest Rock guitarist that has ever lived.
Alyssa Allen I have yet to hunt Mule deer, but they are just a larger version of Whitetail, and I can fill the freezer with that. GOOD LUCK! Stock up on the food, the trophies will never keep you alive.
7 years later lol im 35 and been ted fan since i was like 5 mom dad took us to see ted in cbus ohio at 10 years old. i seen him 12 times since then and my dad and i blast teds hunting songs before every bow hunt. sends chills up my spine. it would be awesome if you messeged me back so we can talk about ted/hunting. take care!
teds been my favorite musician for about 30 years. saw him live double didget times. never saw a bad show. days on the green, monsters of rock,ext,,, great guitarest period...
this is one the greatest ted nugent songs i saw ted live at freedom hill sterling heights michigan for the sonic baptizm tour 2016 amazing concert to see. brownsville station was the opening band.
For anyone who is interested in becoming truly a better bowman, Fred Bear is an icon, and cool for Nugent to acknowledge that and support an American tradition. Just Google some Bear videos and see for yourself.
I don't have my dad anymore, who taught me to hunt... and we also used to jam to this stuff all the time. I play guitar and I play this stuff all the time to honor our memories, and I carry the tradition on with my son with music, and hunting and fishing.
I remember this song in 1989 on the radio Z-Rock and yet it didn't come out till 1995 but why is it that when I look it up there is no evidence that he wrote and recorded the song in 1989? I remember I recorded the song to my cassette from the radio and would hear it all the time back in 89. I was 15 years old, great memories!
I saw Ted in Globe Az at his Family Conservation Rally. It was fantastic. He did it at the Fair aground because there were idiots trying to make hunting against the law. It didn't pass. I never get tired of his hunting songs especially Fred Bear. Ted is an awesome man. There should be millions more like him.
Saw Ted 3 times during the 70s. Great concerts always. In the 80s , he and Roger Mears were on the Budweiser racing team at Pikes Peak Meadows. They were taking a break. I said, Hey Mr. Nugent, can I get your autograph. He walked about 50ft. to me and signed my racing program. Nice guy. Got some Great pictures too.
We need more entertainers like "The Motor City Madman", who is genuine and honest for our children and grandchildren to look up to. I only use Bear bows, the most left handed friendly company without spending a fortune on special orders like Hoyt, Bow Tech, and Martin
I would of like to talk with you when I was working on your house in Hanover mi but we both were very busy. But ejoyed it none the les. Keep on bringing it my felow Hunter.
Dedicated to the Spirit of the Wild in all of us. From the first time I shot my bow, I knew. This was going to be for life. Still today listening and following Ted and Bowhunting 50 years later. Nowadays I set my soul free in the woods and waters of NC
