MARYSVILLE, Calif. – Rocker and celebrity hunter Ted Nugent will have to pay a $1,750 fine after pleading no contest in California to baiting a deer and not having a properly signed hunting tag.
California Department of Fish and Game spokesman Patrick Foy says game wardens saw Nugent kill an immature buck on a February episode of his Outdoor Channel TV show "Spirit of the Wild."
Hunting as a sport is, to me, the mark of a coward. There is nothing manly about killing an animal for any reason other than self defense or food/clothing.
I agree with half of what type of hunter Nugent is. On one hand he supplies his family with meat and has said that his children have never ate meat from a a store. Then on the other hand Nugent is also a trophy hunter and has hunted all over the world. My motto is if you are not going to eat the animal then you do not kill it, but to each his own.
The other problems I have with this story is that Nugent baited the deer and that to me is total BS,he is a expert hunter and I wish I was half as good. I am disappointed that Nugent would use such a cheap trick. The other is killing a undersized deer, it is a lot of work to dress and prepare the meat for consumption and to waste all that effort for maybe 10lbs of meat makes no sense to me. But again to each his own, myself I give little deers a free pass and do not shoot at them. I won't kill Bambi but his parents are open game.
