Zumbo
is supposed to appear on Ted Nugent's message board today.
Ted has posted that Jim was 100% sh ! tcanned from all his work.
Completely fired by everyone.
I've never participated with his site and I only found it because of Zumbo, but I don't really understand why Ted is putting so much input into trying to save Zumbo's rear.
Interesting.

My satellite tv has been down for months. Got it back yesterday. Watched Jim Zumbo show on the Outdoor channel yesterday. Is he a good guy now that he has apologized for his remark on black rifles or what?[?] 0 -

Because that is what friends do.0 -
Sounds to me as if Ted is all about the hunt. Should not be surprising. 0 -
Perhaps if Zumbo is redirected, and reeducated he my be of use to undo the damage he created.
Maybe the best analogy is the best speakers at AA meetings is the ex drunks themselves.0 -
I'm skeptical about Nugent's altruism.

it's on there now.
The last few days have been an educational experience, to say the least. My ill-conceived inflammatory blog, as all of you now know, set off a firestorm that, I'm told, has never before been equaled. I'm not proud of that.
Let me say this at the outset. My words here are from the heart, and all mine. No one can censor me, and I answer to no one but myself. And I have no one to blame but myself. Outdoor Life, a magazine that I worked for full-time as Hunting Editor for almost 30 years, fired me yesterday. My TV show was cancelled yesterday. Many of my sponsors have issued statements on their website to sever all relationships. This may cause many of you to do backflips and dance in the streets, but, of course, I'm not laughing, nor am I looking for sympathy. I don't want a pity party.
They say hindsight is golden. Looking back, I can't believe I said the words "ban" and "terrorist" in the context that I did. I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote that. I can explain this as sheer ignorance and an irresponsible use of words. What I've learned over the last few days has enlightened and amazed me. As a guy who hunts 200 days a year, does seminars on hunting, wrote for six hunting magazines, had a hunting TV show, and wrote 20 books on hunting, how could I have been so ignorant and out of touch with reality in the world of hunting and shooting?
But I was. I really can't explain it, maybe because I just summarily dismissed the firearms in question in my mind when I saw them in magazines and catalogs. I saw one "black" firearm in a hunting camp in all my 50 years of hunting, and I shot one last year off a boat when fishing in Alaska. To tell the truth, it was fun and I enjoyed it immensely, but I never considered one for use in hunting. I have to tell you that I have had a revelation. I'm learning that many of my pals own AR-15's and similar firearms and indeed use them for hunting. I was totally unaware that they were being used for legitimate hunting purposes. That is the absolute truth.
My biggest regret is not the financial impact of all this. I'm almost 67 and retirement is an option. The dreadful impact here is that I inadvertently struck a spear into the hearts of the people I love most.America's gun owners. And, even though this huge cadre of dedicated people have succeeded in stripping me of my career, I hold no grudges. I will continue to stand as firm on pro hunting as I've ever done. But what's different now is that I'll do all I can to educate others who are, or were, as ignorant as I was about "black" rifles and the controversy that surrounds them. My promise to you is that I'll learn all I can about these firearms, and by the time this week is out, I'll order one. The NUGE has invited me to hunt with him using AR-15's, and I'm eager to go, and learn. I'll do all I can to spread the word.
I understand that many of you will not accept this apology, believing that the damage has been done and there's no way to repair it. You have that right. But let me say this. I mentioned this above, and I'll repeat it. I'm willing to seize this opportunity to educate hunters and shooters who shared my ignorance. If you're willing to allow me to do that, we can indeed, in my mind, form a stronger bond within our ranks. Maybe in a roundabout way we can bring something good out of this.

This fool still doesn't get it . . . talk about dense !!
IT AIN'T ABOUT HUNTING, DUMBO !!0 -
I don't get why zumbo is still headline news on this website. See what we accomplished there? Lets use that as a example and start leaning on people about a issue that we can change. There is a AWB trying to go through why aren't there 20 threads on that voicing outrage?
Even more important this isn't Brady thing and won't go away after a few years. We should be going ape poop about it and rattling every dang cage around!0 -

KODIAK is right Zumbo has been buried,and maybe the damage has been done, lets move on with the AWB if we dont voice opinions now,crying over spilt milk when it passes will be useless,what is our next move?0 -
Zumbo can always do a cooking show
on a ladies cable/dish channel-
He and others around, many other writers
at times, are a symptom of the sporting goods store/no gunshop syndrome. Like 5 acres of tents, treestands, fishing stuff,
boats ,atvs, safes, shoes, clothing,
feed, decoys,ad nauseum..........and
a puny 200 sq ft of politically correct guns.
He opened his mouth and ended up a
blithering idiot, helping the Brady bunch.
This incident may be an aid to get folks pissed
enough to get after the congress to
shoot down the crappy legislation.
Famous gun types should make lucid comments like................
"If she had gun collection...
I'm the father".......................Ed0
