Ted Nugent fined for failing to kill bear

Probably won't kill Obama either, Secret Service says

By Lester Haines • In Bootnotes • At 18:03 GMT 25th April 2012

Ted Nugent – the hunter, "conservative activist" and rock guitarist whose Marshall amps probably go up to 12 – has been fined for failing to finish off a black bear he wounded with a bow and arrow.

Nugent, 63, winged the creature during a 2009 hunting trip in a US national forest in southeast Alaska for his reality TV show Ted Nugent Spirit of the Wild. However, he failed to track it down and administer the coup de grace, as the law requires.

Alaska allows "an annual bag limit of one black bear per designated geographic area", Reuters explains. Wounded animals count towards the bag, so Nugent was heading straight for court when, four days after wounding the first bear, he killed a second.

The rocker then committed a second breach of environmental protection law – specifically of the Lacey Act – by "transporting his prey by boat out of the national forest".

Nugent pleaded guilty by telephone in the US District Court in Ketchikan, Alaska, yesterday. He was slapped with a $10,000 (£6,200) fine, two years' probabation, and was "forbidden from hunting in Alaska or any US national forest for a year".

He told the court: "I cherish my hunting time and relationships with the people and the wildlife of Alaska. I'm afraid I was blindsided by this, and I sincerely apologise to everyone for it."

As well as falling foul of the Alaskan authorities, Nugent has had a spot of bother with Secret Service agents, who last week asked him to clarify comments he made about Barack Obama at the National Rifle Association convention in St Louis.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

To let the reader know that it's a euphemism.

So, if you wound the bear and it gets away and you can't find it, you've broken the law? What are you supposed to do in that case?

taking the second bear is what got him. if a bear dies in the woods and no one sees him it still counts :P

Make a fake bear, tag it, and check it in with the game warden.

Headlines aren't sentences, tool.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Bow hunters are the dumbest collection of hunting ass fucks, as they are not nearly as proficient as they should be or think they are, and proper bow hunting requires the most talent and skill, not just in aiming but tracking the kill down.

And you can always tell it's bow hunting season when you come across a deer clipped in the road, and he's got an arrow sticking out of his hindquarters like a corpse from Little Bighorn, all wounded, infected and crippled because he got Robin Hooded from some mouth-breathing Coors Lite swigging Dumbfuckistani from last fucking season.

Too bad there aren't nearly enough hunting tragedies during bow season as there are during rifle season.  More hunters need more hybrid carbon arrow shafts through their fucking jugulars.

Dickheads.

Maybe Nugent is right and he will be dead or in jail this time next year, with a fucking crossbow bolt through his fucking femoral or somebody else's.

I thought you'd appreciate an idiot like that not being called a bona fide conservative?

Because he defines the term rather loosely.  :P

I do not totally disagree with this.  As a hunter I think you owe it to the animal to strive for the cleanest, quickest kill possible and it seems that bow hunters often tend to be lacking in this area.

I'm so OCD about lining up the perfect shot I've never actually shot a deer myself :mellow:
