TED NUGENT Pleads No Contest In Deer Poaching Case

Rock Hard

Posted on Tuesday, August 17, 2010 at 20:52:38 EST

Matt Weiser from Sacbee.com is reporting:
Rock star and hunting advocate TED NUGENT has pled no contest to two misdemeanor charges in Yuba County for poaching deer.

Nugent, famous for 1970s rock anthems such as 'Cat Scratch Fever', has built a successful second career as an advocate of hunting and hunting ethics. He has even loaned his celebrity visage to the cause of supporting game wardens in their quest for better pay and working conditions.

But it was those same game wardens who brought a case against Nugent after watching him illegally kill a young buck deer on his own Outdoor Channel television show, Spirit Of The Wild.

Two game wardens saw the show when it aired for the first time in February, and one of them "just about fell out of his chair" when he saw what transpired, said California Fish and Game spokesman Patrick Foy. On the show, Nugent killed a deer with bow and arrow. But the wardens could see it was a "spike" buck, meaning its antlers had not yet forked, Foy said. It is illegal in California to kill such a young deer.

I'm not sure what to make of this from someone who is so outspoken and pro-hunting. And it was on his show.
Depending on your view, politically and geographically, you could argue this one to death. Me being from Idaho and leaning more the "R" side of politics find that in regards to this issue I will make the following statement....

"A highly distorted guitar amped up to 11 make for a quaint setting where venison is on the menu"
