Cheney Cited for Breaking Hunting Law
By NEDRA PICKLER, Associated Press Writer
Vice President Dick Cheney has been given a warning citation
for breaking Texas hunting law by failing to buy a $7 stamp
allowing him to shoot upland game birds.
The warning came from the Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department after it investigated Cheney's accidental
shooting of a fellow quail hunter Saturday on the private
Armstrong Ranch in the south part of the state.
The department found the accident was caused by a
"hunter's judgment factor" when Cheney sprayed another
hunter while aiming at flying birds.
The report said the victim, prominent Republican
attorney Harry Whittington of Austin, was retrieving
a downed bird and stepped out of the hunting line
he was sharing with Cheney. "Another covey was
flushed and Cheney swung on a bird and fired,
striking Whittington in the face, neck and chest at approximately 30 yards," the report said.
Cheney, an experienced hunter, has not commented
publicly about the accident. His office said Monday
night in a statement that Cheney had a $125 nonresident
hunting license and has sent a $7 check to cover the
cost of the stamp. "The staff asked for all permits
needed, but was not informed of the $7 upland game
bird stamp requirement," the statement said.
Whittington also received a warning for failing
to have the stamp. A department spokesman said
warnings are being issued in most cases because
the stamp requirement only went into effect five
months ago and many hunters aren't aware of it.

line." According to reports, he fell back from the line to retrieve a
bird. It's not like he stepped out in front.
