Signed Skulls by Ted Nugent After Ozzy’s Trophy Hunter Critique
Just one day after renowned musicians Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne campaigned to ban trophy hunting, the outspoken rocker and hunting advocate Ted Nugent has made headlines by listing 10 autographed white-tailed deer skulls for sale on his official website. This move has sparked discussions around the controversial practice of trophy hunting and its implications for wildlife conservation and ethical hunting practices.
Trophy hunting refers to the practice of hunting animals for sport, with the intention of keeping and displaying their remains as trophies. This often involves disregarding other valuable parts of the animal, including the meat. However, some hunters advocate for ethical practices by ensuring that all resources from the animal are utilized appropriately, showcasing a more sustainable approach to hunting.
Nugent has consistently championed hunting not only as a means of sourcing food but also as an effective method for population control. By combining his musical career with his passion for hunting, he is now offering these unique animal remains for sale, highlighting their significance and rarity.

Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne Take a Stand Against Trophy Hunting
On November 18, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne appeared in a promotional video produced by the U.K. organization The Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting. Their goal is to raise awareness and funds to eliminate the practice of hunting for sport, advocating for a more compassionate approach to wildlife.
In the video, Ozzy passionately declares, “Let’s get trophy hunting banned!” He urges viewers to take action, emphasizing the urgency of their cause. “Come on you guys. All we do is talk about it. Let’s get it done. Let’s get the ban done now, not next year,” adds Sharon, showcasing her determination to mobilize support against trophy hunting.
Sharon further encourages viewers to join the movement, displaying a T-shirt designed by Ozzy, featuring a striking red circle with a slash over an outline of a lion, accompanied by the message “OZZY SAYS NO TROPHY HUNTING.” This powerful imagery aims to resonate with the public and provoke thought about the ethics of trophy hunting.
In a press statement (via Consequence), Ozzy expresses his disdain for trophy hunters, stating, “Trophy hunters are totally crazy. You’ve got to be barking to kill an innocent animal and then take photos of yourself laughing about it.” His words illustrate the emotional weight and moral implications tied to this controversial practice.
Sharon adds, “Ozzy and I are big supporters of the Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting. We really hope everyone buys this t-shirt to help raise funds to fight these awful people. I can’t think of anything more sickening than killing an animal just for fun, and then putting its head up in your living room. I honestly thought those days had gone.” Her remarks underline the urgent need for societal change regarding wildlife conservation.
“Let’s make trophy hunting extinct, not wildlife,” she continues passionately. “Support the campaign and tell politicians you want the ban done today, not tomorrow. We’ve done a special edition of personally signed T-shirts which will be auctioned off. It’s really important that everyone gets behind this campaign. Let’s give wildlife the best Christmas gift of all – a future free of these sick maniacs.”
