It's hunting season in Texas, and this year is my first father's son, white-wing dove hunt with my boys, Michael T. and Crockett.

And the thrill I have experienced over preparing for this trip and talking with them about why we kill things, about conservation, about guns and gun safety, and our food

source, how we get the foods that we eat and how removed we are from the historical,

natural process of hunting for our food, killing it, preparing it, eating it, storing that way.

I thought, you know, there are so many lessons. This is rife with so many opportunities for lessons.

And every aspect of my life, I think to myself, if I'm interested in this, if it's thrilling and exciting to me,

then it may just be interesting to somebody out there that tunes into our show for whatever

reason. And I just felt, and you'll hear me say this a few times during the show, that

I think there are a lot of folks out there that say every hunting

season, dad gummit, I ought to take my kids hunting, but I don't know how to get started. So we

wanted to help you do that. It's our interview with Ted Nugent. We recorded it a few days

ago so that we'd have time to put it on the air for you, and I hope you enjoy it.

So there's a guy out there, and he's an accountant or a lawyer, an administrator sitting in an office, and he's got a daughter who's nine and a son who's 12.

I'm just painting a picture of our listener.

And he says, you know, I never went hunting as a kid.

I'd like to go.

How do I get started?

What should I do?

Why is this important?

Well, I've got all the answers.

I communicate with those kinds of people every day.

You know, I just did my 6,578 concert.
