Trouble For Ted.

TED NUGENT: Insulted and Eating Some Crow

Ted Nugent is insulted that his comments about President Obama led to him being kicked off a June date of his Midwest Rock n' Roll Express tour with Styx and REO Speedwagon in Fort Knox, Kentucky -- and he's making his feelings about it known. He says, "To think that there's a bureaucrat in the United States Army that would consider the use or abuse of First Amendment rights in determining who is going to perform at an Army base is an insult and defiles the sacrifices of those heroes who fought for the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights." Nugent starts the Midwest Rock n' Roll Express tour tomorrow night in Hidalgo, Texas.

And that's not the only hot water Nugent is in. He is apologizing -- mostly -- for transporting a black bear he illegally killed in 2009 in Alaska. His website has a lengthy note titled, "Ignorance of the Law Is No Excuse." In it, he writes, "To the best of my knowledge, I am the only person ever charged with violating this new, unheard-of law. Lifetime Alaska hunters, guides, outfitters, even the resident judge at my hearing were unaware of such an unprecedented regulation... Had I known of that requirement, I would not have hunted that region...and I certainly would not have hunted another bear... While I have never intentionally violated a hunting regulation, ignorance of the law is no excuse, and I am truly sorry, and have paid dearly. There is even less of an excuse for ignorant laws."

Nugent was ordered to pay a $10,000 fine and he has been placed on probation for two years. He's promised not to hunt or fish in Alaska or Forest Service properties for one year. He also has to do a public service announcement to air on his Spirit of the Wild TV show every other week for one year.
