So that FReepers will know all the facts, this stamp was not required until 2005. I suspect thousands of casual, nonmigratory bird hunters, in this state do not even know they need the damn thing.

Actually, the $7 thing is new and the state is allowing people to retroactively pay it. When Cheney applied for his license, he sent in more than was needed, they essentially could have taken the overage and applied it to this stamp.

How long did it take Kennedy to tell the press about Mary Jo?

[Eagles Talon IV]

Outrageous, we simply cannot have a VP in office who is no more then a common hoodlum. I mean the man just does what he wants and gets away with it. I heard Ron Reagan Jr on MSNBC just last night ask the question "was he drinking at the time of this accident"? & "Did the police test him or even ask him if he was in fact drinking.' I say impeach Cheney now and cleanse the Party of this irresponsible individual. </sarc>

Jeeze, even the Canadians are hyping this crap. Who has the "Aw Jeeze, Not This Shit Again" picture?

[Cobra64]

You forgot the /sarcasm tagline, right?

[Cobra64]

I think SirLinksAlot is a troll. Or just plain stooopid.

Gee thanks for all the reminders of whats right and what's not.

Where would all of us be without your help in understanding these things?

I'll bet all of your many friends adore you for keeping them on track.

And thanks again for paying all your traffic tickets.

You really are a civic -minded citizen.

WOW..BIG Headline..Small fine.

Good heavens..He had been hunting as he was licensed for years..The way I understand it this is the first year the state has required it. Of course he should pay for it and he has. The accident victim was also given a warning for not having the stamp is my understanding.

Having a bad day?

I assume you are referring to Cheney not having the $7 bird stamp. According to another thread, someone on his staff applied for the hunting permit, which he paid $150 for, and they thought everything was taken care of. The bird stamp is a new requirement this year, and someone at the state agency neglected to mention the need for it. Cheney wasn't flagrantly hunting without a license; he wasn't aware of the need for this extra $7 bird stamp.
