Nugent's “Spirit of the Wild,” is a four-time Golden Moose award winner on Outdoor Channel. He consistently rails against poachers and other wildlife criminals.It was with a double take of disbelief that 2 California game wardens sat down to watch the show and witnessed Nugent violate several Cal. hunting laws.The footage showed Nugent killing a “spike” buck.Killing such a young deer is illegal in California.It showed the deer feeding on a powdery material spread on the ground before it was shot.Investigation found this material to be a commercial deer bait. It"s illegal in California to hunt with bait. Aug 2010, California revoked Nugent's deer hunting license after he pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of deer-baiting and not having a properly signed tag. Nugent's loss of that deer hunting license through June 2012 allows 34 other states to revoke the same privilege under the Interstate Wildlife Violator Compact.Each state can interpret and enforce the agreement as they wish.
