This was on today's Yahoo news feed. I'm not generally a big fan of the Nuge, but I give him complete credit for being upstanding about his error, admitting that it was his error in not knowing the regs, and paying his fine. Maybe next time he'll go feral pig hunting so he can get an animal with some meat on its bones (and fat to grind with his venison sausages).
Ted Nugent takes responsibility for deer baiting
1 hr 16 mins ago
MARYSVILLE, Calif. – Ted Nugent says he should have been better informed about California game laws after pleading no contest to misdemeanor charges of deer-baiting.
Nugent said on his website Wednesday that he takes full responsibility for the hunting incident televised on a February episode of his Outdoor Channel hunting show.
California game wardens watching the show saw Nugent kill an immature buck during the hunt in Northern California. Investigators found that the deer had been eating bait before being killed.
Baiting wildlife is illegal in California.
Nugent pleaded no contest last week to baiting the deer and not having a properly signed hunting tag. A Yuba County Superior Court judge ordered Nugent to pay a $1,750 fine.
