    Kid Rock is a keen huntsman

    BANG Showbiz | Friday, January 11, 2013 (Los Angeles)

    When it came to taking up a new weapon, Kid Rock decided to put in a call to his friend and fellow rock star, Ted Nugent Kid Rock can hunt with a bow and arrow.

    The Cucci Galore singer is a keen huntsman and when it came to taking up a new weapon, he decided to put in a call to his friend and fellow rock star, Ted Nugent. He said: "Ted Nugent's one of the best bowhunters in the world. He's been bowhunting since the 50s, so I called Uncle Ted and he said, 'Come on, I'll give you a little lesson.' So we had lessons and now I'm ready to knock down a big one and get me some good venison meat. It's like a rush - you've got to wait for that big monster to get right in front of your blind and then you've got to draw the arrow back. It's quite an adrenalin rush."

    Kid, 41, added he doesn't know where he gets either his hunting or musical instincts from, as no-one else in his family plays an instrument or hunts animals. He added to Classic Rock magazine: "Nobody in my family hunts. Sometimes I wonder, am I the Milkman's kid? But my mom and dad did love music.

    "They had a very eclectic record collection, from all the Motown and the Sun records. They loved The [Rolling] Stones and Sir Elton John and Fleetwood Mac, it was just a great collection."

I like the summer sausage that can be made. I keep hearing about how wonderful the jerky is yet i haven't got to sample it yet....Two or three ppl keep saying oh i need to remember to bring that in next time i work or when i get it back from processing i will save you some...YET i haven't tried it yet!

Not really into making the meat up to go with anything. I have tried it. Not crazy about it. EVEN tried spicing it up with garlic and all kinds of shit. I guess if we have a nuclear fall out or something i will eat deer or whatever i can get my hands on...FOR now i will stick with chicken, fish, turkey and occasionally red meat! I do better on lots of veggies and fruit like i been doing. I feel a lot better physically and on my insides. I can tell...Having diverticulosis that does flare up when you eat the wrong things ain't fun, but i deal with it. NOW i wish i could heal my duodenal bulb...also think i have GERD the way caffeine and other things work on me and how my body does better with 6 small meals of fruits, lean meats, and veggies daily. AH well i deal with it and do what i should! NUFF SAID! Sure beats having a colostomy!

Honestly Ajay, the only and best way I have ever enjoyed a deer or any wild animal is in the cast iron pot, first browned for the caramelized taste, then covered in potatoes, onions, garlic, turnips, carrots, celery, or what have you, some broth, then slow cooked to perfection with your choice of herbs. It melds the flavors and the meat doesn't taste as gamey. The second day, like broth clam chowder, it's even better.

You know what I love is the ground meat-a lean deer burger is really good!

How do you make up the burger with it?

KRSVal's picture

I add a little plain breadcrumbs, Hidden Valley Ranch powder dressing, and an egg. I use less egg than most ppl probably do...just enough to get everything stick together. Or you could use ketchup or bbq sauce to get things to stick. You could also cook up some onion and celery enough to get it soft and add that, too. I have one of those plastic round presses that get the burgers the same consistency.

I don't hunt. I am a veterinary techncian and, as I say, I get enough death on my job. BUT, my husband hunts and he taught my son to hunt and fish. Wow! Are they good. I LOVE me some venison chili or salami any day. I just don't do the killing myself. I will not however, EVER process a deer again at our property. Way too messy. I like taking it to Jerome or Dick's Meats and they give me back the ready to eat stuff. Yum!!!

CHop Shop and her hubby process meat around Lapeer area, too.
See, I gave you a plug, Genny :)

I think that is where the true love of music often starts...with the family album stack..I remember my Mom and Dad's Honky Tonk collections, and later, my older brother's collections of such classics and legends as Ten Years After, Savoy Brown, Moody Blues, Led Zeppelin, Cat Stevens, Beatles, Steppenwolf, Iron Butterfly, CKLW Solid Gold Hits,...even my sister's Petula Clark and Tijuana Brass records- anything went :0
Later my younger bro and I drove my Mom crazy with Aerosmith, Foghat, Ted, Seger, April Wine, Foreigner, etc. Good times.

Well don't feel alone BOB. No one in my family writes and i have written poetry, lyrics, short stories, screen plays for 20+ years. I also will sit there when i write lyrics and be like i know how this should sound....i can almost hear the music to go with the lyrics. Just wish i could play. Not much longer and i can start taking bass lessons after i take and pass state boards.

ALSO not one soul that i know of in my family has been a nurse....I got a younger cousin who is medical assistant, but she didn't do that until after i had been in nursing for a long time. BUT i have almost felt guided into nursing and lyrics/music. I can't change it, so why fight it? I embrace it and accept it and go with it...

Oh btw not too much on hunting. Dunno if it is due to being female or what. It bothers me to see things die/pass. I realize it is a part of life and the circle of life and all. Hunting i just don't think is for me!

Nice to see him learning new stuff outside of music. Must say though, sure hope it is "true hunting" and not some some of that "bear in the cage" stuff. That just turns my stomach, my aggie upbringing and training, aside.

I agree Blue, canned hunts or fenced hunting 'preserves' turn me right off. It's not about that-it's about the skill involved. If you do not want to practice the skill, you have no business blasting things.
I was an avid 'no hunter' for years--even used to live in Jackson, MI by Ted territory and torment him in the paper (The Jackson Cit-Pat)for his hunting...then I became assimilated into the UP culture of Michigan later in life, and I began to understand a bit more about the background. I still really dislike trapping-I mean torture (sorry)

There must be a certain percentage of the population continually trained to hunt. Remember the Blizzard of 78 in Rhode Island, which drifted to 44 inches were I lived, heavy snow. I lived in an urban area surrounded by housing projects. The food was gone in 3 days, then the gangs started destroying every piece of undefended property they could get their hands on, first the cars stuck on the street, then the local stores, then they started approaching individual housing. If it were not for the two previous circus midgets that lived above me at our house which was back from the road some, I do not know how things would have worked out. They kept both shotguns trained out the windows, and then got some squirrel (good eats!). By the end of the third day (not a plow in site) I was identified as critical, picked up by snowmobile, and taken to the emergency food kitchen in the local firehouse and did 24 hrs straight breakfast on a grill for the emergency folks and anyone else who could get there. Day four, still no plows, and I was snowmobiled to the local airport, to my job at the steakhouse, and spend another three straight days there trying to feed folks, since the governor and his team ended up working out of one of the private banquet areas. Scariest thing I ever witnessed, watching society break down so quickly and stay down so long. To their credit, the state learned a lot, and do not think the same thing would ever happen to that degree again.
