Rocker Ted Nugent pleads no contest to Northern California deer baiting
Quote:
(AP) MARYSVILLE -- Rocker and celebrity hunter Ted Nugent is facing a $1,750 fine after pleading no contest in Northern California to baiting a deer and not having a properly signed hunting tag.
California Department of Fish and Game spokesman Patrick Foy said game wardens saw Nugent kill an immature buck on a February episode of his Outdoor Channel TV show "Spirit of the Wild."
Investigators found that the deer had been eating bait called "C'mere Deer."
Baiting wildlife is illegal in California.
Nugent originally faced 11 charges, including killing a deer too young to be hunted. However, in a deal with Yuba County prosecutors, attorney Jack Kopp entered no contest pleas Friday to the two misdemeanors on behalf of Nugent, who did not appear in court.
