Rock star, Ted Nugent has had a couple of wild life violations. First in 2009 he was cited by Alaska after making a non-lethal hit on a black bear in that area that considered any hit bear a “Filled Tag.” He then killed another bear later in the hunt making that bear illegal. He says he was unaware of the law. He was fined $10,000 and agreed not to hunt in Alaska or Forest Service land for 1 Year. In 2010 he pleaded no contest to deer hunting violations. He shot a spike buck over bait both of which are illegal in California. In a statement he said he was following the instructions for his guides and wished he had checked the law book for himself. He was fined $1,750.

In 2007 Spook killed a 230 inch whitetail for which he did not have a tag for. It took until 2013 for the investigation to charge and convict him. He was fined $20,000, banned from hunting in Kansas for a year, and anywhere in the U.S. for six months. Spann also had to forfeit the trophy buck’s antlers. During that probation he was caught hunting turkey in his home state of Tennessee. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail and a one year worldwide hunting ban.
