It's bad enough that he is such a terrible shot with a bow that he only wounds a bear enough to probably suffer a slow death, then the coward with a gun puts himself above the law and kills another bear with a gun this time for his TV show. What a worthless cowardly POS!
Ted Nugent Pleads Guilty In Illegal Bear Kill | News @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com
Ted Nugent has agreed to plead guilty to transporting a black bear he illegally killed in southeast Alaska.
USA Today reports Nugent made the admission in signing a plea agreement with federal prosecutors that was filed Friday in U.S. District Court.
The plea agreement says Ted illegally shot and killed the bear in May 2009 on Sukkwan Island days after wounding a bear in a bow hunt, which counted toward a state seasonal limit of one bear.
In the hunt, Nugent used a number of bear-baiting sites on U.S. Forest Service property.
The document says Nugent knowingly possessed and transported the bear in misdemeanor violation of the federal Lacey Act.
Nugent, identified in the agreement as Theodore A. Nugent, agreed to pay a $10,000 fine, according to the agreement, which says he also agreed with a two-year probation, including a special condition that he not hunt or fish in Alaska or Forest Service properties for one year. He also agreed to create a public service announcement that would be broadcast on his show every second week for one year, the document states.
This isnt the first time Ted has broken the law with illegal hunting practices: in 2010, Nugent plead no contest to misdemeanor charges of illegal deer baiting and failing to have a properly signed hunting tag while on a 2009 hunt in Northern California. Ted paid a $1,750 fine for the incident, which was part of the filming of his Outdoor Television series.
