The phone has barely stopped ringing for local wildlife expert Tom Nelson since he blamed 鈥渨oke politics鈥� for a Leavenworth park bear attack that sent one woman to the hospital last weekend.

Now, fresh off several network TV news appearances for his outspoken comments, Nelson 鈥� who hosts on Seattle Sports 710 AM 鈥� has snagged the attention of hard-rock legend, hunting and fishing enthusiast, and conservative rights advocate .

A past guest on The Dori Monson Show, Nugent reached out to Nelson during Dori鈥檚 Friday show to applaud Nelson, saying, 鈥淚 feel like we鈥檙e blood brothers.鈥�

鈥淚鈥檓 addicted to truth, logic, and common sense,鈥� Nugent told Nelson. 鈥淲hen I see other people celebrating it 鈥� unambiguously and fearlessly 鈥� I need to track them down.鈥�

Nugent 鈥� the guitarist and voice behind the 1977 hit 鈥淐at Scratch Fever鈥� 鈥� told Nelson he was impressed by the connection Nelson made between the Oct. 22 bear attack and 鈥渢ouchy-feely, nonsensical woke wildlife management putting the public at risk.鈥�

Nelson鈥檚 comments came in the wake of last Saturday鈥檚 morning attack involving a mother bear who charged a woman out walking her dogs in the Bavarian-themed town鈥檚 Enchantment Park. Bear populations have increased in populated areas, Nelson said, because state laws have restricted spring hunting season and eliminated the use of hound dogs during designated bear hunting seasons.

鈥淓ncounters like this are avoidable,鈥� Nelson told Dori鈥檚 Monday listeners. 鈥淭his is a complete tragedy on both sides. Nobody wins.鈥�

The likelihood that bears would be foraging in a town park would be far less if lawmakers and voters weren鈥檛 鈥渕aking political decisions about biological situations for political considerations,鈥� he continued.
Since that attack, the woman has been treated for non-life-threatening injuries. The mother bear, meanwhile, was tracked and killed by a (WDFW) team using a Karelian Bear dog. The bear鈥檚 two 9-month-old cubs were taken to a PAWS wildlife rehabilitation center, according to WDFW.

Responsible hunting, fishing, and trapping, Nugent agreed, could have helped prevent this encounter.

鈥淲hen I see a guy like Tom Nelson and you, Dori, celebrating the truth, logic, and common sense of real nature, real habitat, real sustained yields … the successful model of wildlife management that the whole word envies … I celebrate that,鈥� said Nugent, whose longtime fans fondly refer to him as 鈥淭he Nuge鈥� and 鈥淯ncle Ted.鈥�

鈥淕reat Apache chiefs said God has given us everything we need,鈥� continued Nugent, whose . 鈥淥ver the past 35 years, hunters in America have donated a quarter of a billion 鈥� 250 million meals of nutritious venison to soup kitchens and homeless shelters every year 鈥� and that comes from hunting, fishing, and trapping.鈥�

Hunters for the Hungry and donate 鈥渕ore healthy protein to charities than any other force on Planet Earth,鈥� the rocker added.

Continuing to host outdoor events in Michigan and hunting, meanwhile, keep him healthy, Nugent said.

鈥淚鈥檓 74 and having the greatest hunting season of my life,鈥� Nugent went on. 鈥淚鈥檓 not jumping off amplifiers anymore because I had to get new knees.鈥�

Nugent said he now works to encourage 鈥渉unting families鈥� and conservatives to register to vote in part because lawmakers are seeking 鈥渕ore gun laws, but they鈥檙e not enforcing the laws that are already on the books.鈥�

鈥淪imple fixes,鈥� Nugent believes, could address many of the perceived problems involving conservation, hunting, fishing, trapping, and firearms.

鈥淚f a stupid guitar player who wrote ‘Wango Tango’ can figure it out, nobody鈥檚 got an excuse.鈥�
