A highlight of each year’s Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show is Outdoor Channel’s prestigious Golden Moose Awards, celebrating excellence in outdoor programming.

Once again, the viewers have spoken, naming Ted Nugent as the Favorite Host on the network, during ceremonies held at The Venetian Hotel & Casino on January 17.

“I have been extremely blessed throughout my long career and life with a very special, strong connection with the best people there are–the working hard, playing hard hunting, fishing and outdoors families of the world,” stated Nugent.  “This award is for them, whose voice of hands on conservation and stewardship I strive to represent.”

Entertainment for the 13th Annual Golden Moose Awards was provided by country duo Big & Rich, who were joined by Nuge for a super charged performance of Ted’s Mega-hit, Cat Scratch Fever.

Ted Nugent Spirit of the Wild can be seen Tuesdays at 3 pm & 8:30 pm, and Sundays, 12 am EST, exclusively on Outdoor Channel.
