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.

I get a kick out of them saying the victim "stepped out of the hunting
line." According to reports, he fell back from the line to retrieve a
bird. It's not like he stepped out in front.

More human beings died in Ted Kennedy's Oldsmobile than lost their lives
by Cheney's gun.

As hunting accidents go, Cheney's is not unusual

Vice President, Victim share blame in incident, Texas experts
say.......Vice President Dick Cheney's hunting accident was a textbook
example of a Texas bird-hunting mishap, and experts say both he and his
victim violated basic hunting safety rules. According to Texas Parks and
Wildlife records, swinging a shot gun outside a safe zone of fire is the
No#1 cause of hunting accidents. On Saturday, the vice president was
swinging his shot gun with a flying quail when the bird flew near Austin
layer Harry Whittington as the shot was fired. Mr. Whittington was
struck in the face and upper body by pellets from Mr. cheney's #28 gauge
shot gun. The accident occured on the Armstrong ranch, south of Corpus
Christi. Katherine Armstrong, a Dallas business woman whose family owns
the ranch, said Mr. Whittington had been looking for a fallen bird and
walked up behind Mr. Cheney and another hunter without announcing his
presence. Ms. Armstrong is a knowledgeable hunter and was the first
female chairman of the Parks and Wildlife Commission. Bird hunters
become so focused on their fast moving targets that their visual
background may become blurred. "In hunter education, we refer to that
phenomenon as 'target fixation'", said Mr. Hall. "Every year, its the
primary cause of Texas bird hunting accidents. In 2005, we had 13
reported hunting accidents that involved bird hunters. Twelve of those
accidents were caused by swinging the shot gun outside a safe line of
fire".
