Lansing— Ted Nugent has a bone to pick with Ohio Gov. John Kasich over an exotic animal escape near Zanesville that captivated the nation Wednesday.

The Motor City Madman and conservation activist monitored the situation from a hunting cabin on his 1,200-acre Jackson County farm, and said Kasich was to blame for failing to ban exotic animal ownership.

"I'm going to make a call to Gov. Kasich because he (ended) an executive order by the previous governor that did prohibit and control wild animal ownership," Nugent told The Detroit News on Wednesday. "These are real, wild, dangerous, capable and dangerous animals and they belong in the wild."

Many residents of the rural community about 55 miles east of Columbus expressed fear Wednesday after the owner of an exotic game preserve freed scores of animals before committing suicide.

5. They belong in the wild, where they can be illegally baited and hunted. By Nugent.
Yo Nuge, convicted poachers don't get to tell others what to do.

MARYSVILLE, Calif. — Rocker and celebrity hunter Ted Nugent will have to pay a $1,750 fine after pleading no contest in California to baiting a deer and not having a properly signed hunting tag.

California Department of Fish and Game spokesman Patrick Foy says 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. In a deal with Yuba County prosecutors, Nugent's attorney on Friday entered no contest pleas to the two misdemeanors.

6. I honestly cannot believe I would ever agree with even a single opinion Ted Nugent would utter.
But he's right: "These are real, wild, dangerous, capable and dangerous animals and they belong in the wild."

I'm sure he went on to state "Where I should be bowhunting them with my grenade-tipped arrows." I don't agree with that part or anything else his crazy ass has to say.

24. WTF!?!? I thought tebaggers hated "intrusive guberment regulations" ?
I think he's partially right. There should be FEDERAL regulations restricting breeding, auction, trade and ownership of these large exotic animals.
