yes he was illegally hunting. I am sure he will just get a slap on the wrist, but if "WE" did he we would be jailed. Amazing world we live in huh? LOL

they bonded.    The deer is probably smarter than most humans, just look at Bush!!    you can't shoot tourists, because then there would be nothing for Cheney and his hunting buddies to do..     dictionary

unfortunately the president is under alot more political and judicial protection than you think. since there hasn't been a real reason to bring him to a Judaical boar you ll never see one. besides its only illegal if the Vaseline was used on forced entry .

No, you can not.\nOnly the owner or his immediate family (spouse, children and grandchildren under the age of 18) may hunt the owners property without a license.

Cheney did poach!! Hey lampoilman You are right Michigan is not in Texas and has different laws. BUT She is right and in A way so are you. She is right he did poach!! I hunt in different states every year. I have hunted in Texas you need A hunting license or stamp just like in Michigan and Ohio. and Penn, and where ever you hunt doesn't matter what state I hunt. If you get caught in Michigan you might not go to jail you might get A tickit and pay the fine depends on where you were hunting and what game you were hunting. I asked about Texas before I went hunting there. I needed A hunting license or A stamp. The only part she had wrong is not all the time you go straight to jail it depends. Texas is no different. Cheny did not have A stamp he needed so he was poaching!! maybe he didn't need to go to jail BUT he should have got A fine for not having A stamp that was poaching!! So he did get special treatment they covered him up and said he did nothing wrong. Also He did what they called A carless discharge of A firearm, That is A fine and in most states they give you A fine for that and he didn't get anything they said he did nothing wrong! It sounds like to me  lampoilman is A cheny kiss up. Ever one should be treated the same if I got caught poaching I get fined if you get caught you get fined. Well if Bush or Cheney gets caught they should have been fined also. That would have been showing that they are treating everyone the same. They didn't do that! They said he did nothing wrong, they showed us not everyone is even and everyone is treated differently.\n____________________________________________________________\nI did not hear he got any kind of fine. What I heard was he was cleared of any wrong doing, they said he didn't do anything wrong.What to you mean no fact he didn't have A stamp he was out hunting anyways that is poaching!! That is what we are talking about. When you don't have your stamp and are out hunting you are poaching very simple.

You probably need a pardon before being re-considered for a hunting license.

No one is saying Cheney shot his hunting buddy on purpose, I've heard no talk of criminal charges,it was an accident,but not an accident I feel is easily excusable.\nA man who has been hunting as long as Cheney has no excuse for not knowing what is in his field of fire before pulling the trigger... He discredited himself, the public is merely talking about it....and the fact that he did not have the proper hunting license for shooting upland birds....lots of hunters in that area have made the same mistake because that tag is a new requirement, not a huge deal, but very entertaining.

In Texas it is illegal for one to shoot a buffalo from the second story of a hotel.  Also the Encyclopedia Brittanica is banned.\nsee: http://www.dumblaws.com

He asked Dubya, who declined from going on a lame Duck hunt. In order to be polite about the refusal, he went to Vietnam! While there Bush said some more random crap and shot himself in the foot, then stuck his foot in his mouth to stop the flow of stupidity from coming out his mouth.\nCheney did have a taker on the hunting trip. Sorry folks. Rush Limbaugh went on the hunt with Cheney. Dick got tired of listening to Rush rambling on and actually took aim. His show will not air until he sees Foley, who will no doubt fish out the buckshot from his arse.

Regardless of whoever answers what, check with the Minnesota DNR (Department of Natural Resources).  Also if you go to places where you can purchase hunting licenses (usually places that you can buy guns) they have booklets available that clearly spell out all the can's and can not's of hunting.  Don't just blindly ask somebody on Yahoo, go straight to the source.  That way if you do get busted for something illegal you can't tell the game warden that you "thought" it was ok just because that is what you heard.  Hunting laws are often different than those for recreational shooting.  I know in Wisconsin laser sights are illegal for deer, but just fine for the shooting range.  For other animals I'm not sure.  I highly doubt silencers are legal for hunting, but wouldn't think they would be illegal for the shooting range.  But honestly I don't know.  Check with the DNR and local Police.  A simple phone call is all it takes to keep you out of jail.

It used to be at age 17 you need to start purchasing licenses for both hunt and fishing. I"m not sure if those regs, have changed but it may have.

NONE!! he may have followed bad information provided to him by the Democrats in the previous administration , but he never violated any laws, as in your most apt profile of the Felon who was president before him.

Bush doesn't understand the word illegal when it applies to him or his friends.

I'm sure he was sober, just real old. Besides, people get shot birdhunting all the time.. its nothing new, it just becomes a big deal when the vice-president shoots someone. Maybe we shouldn't let vice-presidents hunt birds.

I don't think it is. If you really want to know you should consult with your states Wildlife Conservation Office. They distribute hunting and fishing regulations which vary widely from state to state. The only way to make sure you are in compliance with the law is to understand the regulations on hunting and fishing. Most states also require that you have a license to hunt or fish. The money they collect from the issuance of these licenses goes to pay for wildlife management and conservation. The regulations vary from one year to the next because of population increases and decreases of different species of animals. When a certain species of animal's population decreases, the taking of that species is restricted. When overpopulation of a species threatens that species natural food supply, the taking of that species is less restricted. This helps to insure a more healthy wildlife population since under and over population is detrimental to that species. Hunting to control population of some animals is necessary since they have few natural predators. When a species becomes overpopulated their food supply is scarce and makes them susceptible to starvation and disease.\n\nIt's very important to follow the regulations. If you get caught violating certain specific regulations, you can be fined pretty heavily. They can also confiscate your guns, fishing equipment, boat, and vehicle. They can confiscate anything that they think was used in the crime basically. They take their wildlife conservation pretty seriously.

Am I the only one who would?  Think about it this way... He's the second most powerful man in the free world.  This means there are hordes of people just lining up to kiss his butt.  Which means primo hunting places.  Not the crappy public lands that majority of us have to hunt.  All you would have to do is just aim your shotgun in the air and someone will make sure a bird is in front of the barrel.  It'd be a great time!

Heck yes!\nIt's not funny that someone got shot, but OMG is it funny that our Vice President was shooting quails in a freakin' enclosed pen and was still so inept that he actually shot a person. Maybe the inside story was that the friend was actually trying to hold a quail still for Cheney to shoot at - and he still missed.\n\nIt's just such a perfect symbol of the arrogant, careless and dangerous way that this presidential office conducts itself.
