Nugent fined for baiting incident
Rock guitarist and Texas outdoorsman Ted Nugent never seems to be at a loss for words, whether he's railing against animal rights advocates or celebrating the landing of a well-aimed arrow
But Nugent is not beyond admitting when he is wrong. 
He was ordered on Aug. 13 in a Northern California court to pay a $1,750 fine after pleading no contest to misdemeanor charges of illegally baiting a deer and not having a properly signed hunting tag.
The Associated Press reported that California game wardens last February saw Nugent kill an immature buck on an episode of his Outdoor Channel TV show "Spirit of the Wild."
Investigators subsequently learned the buck had eaten the attractant "C'mere Deer," but it's illegal in California to lure game with bait.
Nugent, a Detroit native who relocated his family to a ranch near Waco, originally faced 11 charges.
However, Yuba County prosecutors approved a deal that allowed Nugent's lawyer to enter the no contest pleas to the two misdemeanors, according to the AP.
That was done without Nugent having to appear in court, the AP reported.
The 61-year-old rocker was unavailable for comment, but he posted a statement on his Web site.
"To my fellow outdoorsmen," he stated. "You may have read the news that I pled no contest to two misdemeanor game violations. I should have been better informed, more aware and I take full responsibility."
"The honorable hunting lifestyle is my deepest passion."
