Ted Nugent busted in California.

Rock and hunting icon Ted Nugent has agreed to pay a $1,750 fine after pleading no contest to charges stemming from a reality show appearance where he used illegal methods to kill a young deer.

California Department of Fish and Game spokesman Patrick Foy told a court on Friday that two game wardens saw the 'Cat Scratch Fever' rocker bait and kill a young deer with a bow and arrow while taping his Outdoor Channel series 'Spirit of the Wild' earlier this year, KBET-10 is reporting.

"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.

Nugent used a commercial deer bait called "C'mere Deer," even though baiting animals for hunting purposes is illegal in the state.

The rock star originally faced 11 charges, including killing a deer too young to be hunted. In a deal with Yuba County prosecutors, Nugent's attorney on Friday entered no contest pleas to the two misdemeanors.

Nugent was not in court and a spokeswoman for the star has not commented.

I bet he reads the rule book the next time.  I'm sure he didn't actually intentionally break the law and then be dumb enough to air the show.  But who knows these days.

I don't know.  Each state has different regs.  I like Teds take on baiting.  Calling -food plots, scents-decoys, or dumping corn on the ground  are all baiting tactics  of some sort.  Where do you stand?  Banging one out on the hood of your car is called bad luck.   I am pretty sure the law violation was not intentional.         Just my take on the subject.

I'm sure most of us inadvertantly violated the law sometime, but we sure don't go and put it on TV for all to see.... Somebody really dropped the ball here.

Gotta agree with ya Red on Gillespie.... that guy is a piece of work aint he?  I think we can file this under the Tiger Woods/Lindsey Lohan "in the public eye" file..... Hey, its human nature to be unperfect.... no matter how you watch what you say and do, humans slip up... now put oneself in the public eye, use the media to put your face out there, and on top of it all be contraversial or worse yet become a media darling or a tool as beeker said, then katie bar the door, cause sooner or later(if not all the time)   will hit the fan....ya better be ready to deal with it....  it comes with the territory...
