TED NUGENT – Upcoming Celebrity Bear Hunt In New Brunswick Could Be Stalled Due To Criminal Charges Against Event Partners

According to CBC News, a celebrity bear hunt held by rocker Ted Nugent in New Brunswick could be stalled following charges against the owners and operators of Lawrence Dyer and Sons Outfitters in Plaster Rock.

Daniel Dyer, his wife, Kimberly, and son Christopher Dyer, along with guide Todd Daye, have been charged with several counts of possessing illegal animal parts, illegal hunting and illegal hunting practices. The Dyer family owns the outfitting company. Daye is employed there as a guide.

The outfitter located just outside of Plaster Rock has been a popular spot for American hunters, including rocker and avid hunter Nugent.

Nugent has teamed with Lawrence Dyer and Sons in the past to hunt black bears. Nugent’s website promotes New Brunswick bear hunts and offers hunters a chance to hunt bear with the star for $3,550 US, plus the $184 cost of a bear licence. Hunts are organized under Nugent’s Sunrize Safari business. 

Nugent was banned from hunting in Alaska recently after pleading guilty to illegally hunting bears at a different ranch. There is no suggestion he is connected with any wrongdoing in this case, but if the owners of the Plaster Rock operation are convicted, it could mean the closure of the lodge.
