Ted Nugent, rock icon and advocate of everything about hunting and shooting, is partnering with a provider of branded online search engines to bring a unique, Nuge-style Web site and sweepstakes to the Internet.

Fresh from his appearance last week at the Outdoor Life 25 Awards during the 2008 SHOT Show (he’s pictured here with Outdoor Life Editor-in Chief, Todd Smith), the uncompromising musician, author and NRA board member now has his own search engine: searchwithtednugent.com.

The site is the result of a partnership between Nugent and Prodege LLC, a company that identifies itself as the Internet’s leading provider of branded search engines.

Users of the new site, which combines the power of search engines Google and Ask, will have a chance to win digital dollars called Swag Bucks, which can be redeemed for exclusive Nuge prizes, including autographed CDs, DVDs and copies of Ted’s official cookbook: “Kill It and Grill It.”

In addition, a lucky sweepstakes winner will have the opportunity to accompany Ted on one of his future hunting trips.

As one who uses Internet search engines as much as anyone who taps on a keyboard, the Outdoor Newshound enthusiastically gives Search With Ted Nugent two thumbs (and eight fingers) up!

Rock on!
