MARYSVILLE, CA – Rock star and hunting enthusiast Ted Nugent pleaded no contest last week to charges stemming from a television appearance earlier this year that showed the rocker using forbidden methods to kill a young deer.An attorney for Nugent, 61, entered the plea in Yuba County Superior Court Friday to misdemeanor counts of baiting a deer and not acquiring an authorized signature after killing a deer, according to California Department of Fish and Game spokesman Patrick Foy.Foy said the case started when two California game wardens saw Nugent kill a young deer with a bow and arrow in Yuba County on Nugent’s Outdoor Channel series “Spirit of the Wild” last February.”They watched him appear to shoot a spiked buck, which is an illegal buck to take, because it’s too small. And he had it right there on television, and it wasn’t live, it was taped,” Foy said.  Click Link Below For Full Story!

Bandera Texas Newspaper- What do deer think? Nugent knows

Editor’s note: this story about Ted Nugent, NRA supporter and hunting enthusiast, came to me via email. It’s probably apocryphal, but was too good to pass up.)

Ted Nugent, rock star and avid bow hunter from Michigan, was being interviewed by a French journalist and animal rights activist. The discussion came around to deer hunting.

The journalist asked, “What do you think is the last thought in the head of a deer before you shoot him? Is it, ‘Are you my friend?’ or is it ‘Are you the one who killed my brother’?”

Nugent replied, “Deer aren’t capable of that kind of thinking. All they care about is, ‘What am I going to eat next? Who am I going to screw next? And, can I run fast enough to get away? They are very much like the French.”

The interview ended.
