Very old news. It was the ranch owner who baited. Nugent has acknowledged that he should have been familiar with the Cali game laws and he paid the fine. Seems to me, though, that when someone hunts all over the world, in a different state or country every week of the season, it's not entirely unreasonable to rely on the owner of the land to know that such actions are against the local laws.

s for SD... the compact allows them to revoke his license. I don't know whether the revocation is automatic or whether action is required by the state to revoke the license once they learn that a revocation has occurred elsewhere. But, the article cited states that the 34 other states are "allowed to revoke the licenses." That seems as though action by the state is required. If the state didn't revoke the license, then where's the problem?
