Title: Favorite Hunting Song
Post by: Scott E on July 26, 2008, 10:21:00 PM
Whats your favorite hunting song?
I know there are some trad bowhunting CDs out there but I havent had the chance to listen to any. But my two favorite hunting songs are the mossy oak song by tracy byrd and Fred Bear by Ted Nugent.-Scott

Nugent's Fred Bear is the first coming to mind.


Not hunting music, but Waylon in my truck all Fall long is an unbroken tradition for me.  His music takes me hunting and many other places every time I hear it.

I know this is not what you were probably looking for but my choice would be J.S. Bach's Fugue in G minor BWV 578 known to most as the little fugue, but also and more importantly known as "the Hunter". To me that is real music to kill by.   :readit:

For me its gotta be "Louisiana Saturday Night" by Mel McDaniel.  A local radio hunting show always starts with this tune at 4 am when I am driving to the hunting camp.  I can remember hearing it when I was 7 riding with my dad to go bang up some rabbits.
rings back great memories.

You can hear the song here:

Hey Guys,
I would have to go along with bakes168 on Chad Slagle's music. I am a huge Beatle's fan but I listen to Chad's "High, Wild and Free" CD probably more than anything for the last year. I think my grandson and I know every song by heart now. Chad's Fred Bear tribute, "Man in the Borsalino Hat", ranks with me right their with Uncle Ted's.

Makes me think of my dad. Anyone ever hear it?

In no particular order -

Led Zepplin - Immigrant Song
Ted Nuge - Fred Bear
Skynard - Simple Man
Darryl Worley - A Good Day To Run
Pat McCurdy - Sex and Beer

All get me ready with a smile and a positive attitude.

  :D

And just becuase you can't mention Fred Bear without a good video - this one's my favorite.

"High on the mountain tell me what do you see
Bear-tracks bear-tracks lookin' back at me
Better get your "bow" boy before it's too late
Cause the bear's got a little pig and headed through the gate
He's big around the middle and he's broad across the rump
Runnin' ninety miles an hour takin' thirty foot a jump
Ain't never been caught he ain't never been treed
And some folks say he look a lot like me

"Bad Ballads for Bowhunters".In particular one about a bull elk:
"Mighty Mighty Bull up on the Hill Six Point monster I see, if I do my part, and play it real smart, that mighty mighty bull will belong to me." ......... "he's still on the hill Bill!"  :biglaugh:  

He has CD that he will will send you. All good campfire singing stuff. you can get in touch through Dean Torges.

I HUNT--- By Chad K. Slagle

There's an old man dressed in black
He's a holy man they say
Preaches blessing for tomorrow
But I have found them here today

He tells me Jesus is my savior
And I can be with him in time
But I've already met the savior
On the trail, at the end of a long hard climb

That man may miss me Sunday morning
But my temple is a grove of pine
And my altar is a cedar stump
'Cause I HUNT

A man with years of education
And initials by his name
Looks to his prescriptions
As a way to keep them sane

He tells me I must be crazy
To hike so far into those hills
But if they knew what I'd found there
They wouldn't need his little pills

They'd pick up a bow and arrow
And feel alive again
And have the courage
To not be numb
If they'd just HUNT

There's a young man on the corner
Trying hard to understand
Why he doesn't have a Daddy
To show him how to be a man

So he falls in with the wrong crowd
And he's taught a life of crime
But he may have chose a different path
If someone just took the time

We can't turn our backs
And simply look away
We need to take those boys
And treat them like our sons
And show them how to HUNT

I may not have all the answers
And I'm not always right
But I bet I'll save a few before I'm done
And they'll HUNT

I HUNT
I HUNT

I think it is one of my best, anyway...

It's gonna have to be a tie between his Monty song and "Call of the Woods" I don't know if he has a new cd out yet w/ that song. Mark if your out there... keep the music going!!!

Hit one last fall and went back to the truck to  wait for the "tracking team" to come back in. Drank a couple of beer's and put in Neil Young's "Decade" CD, disk 1 and 2. Sat on the tailgate listening to Neil and when the boys finally came in we went out and did our thing. Came back in and we had tenderloins that night.

That night, being with good friends and the music will stick in my mind forever.
