Chaney was hunting illegally. He didn't have the required upland game
bird permit. Are you happy about voting for a poacher?

In the grand scheme of things, considering the mind-boggling, scandalous
illegality this administration is involved in, I guess not having the
required hunting tag doesn't rank very high. But it's indicative of the
sense of privilege and the basic incompetence of this crew. No doubt
Cheney will blame his lack of a tag on some pathetic, low level member
of his staff.

That's not a very accurate picture of things, even from you. The upland
stamp is a recent addition (like 3-4 months), replacing the Turkey tag,
and if Cheney got his license in August (as most do), that would explain
it. Whittington didn't have one, either. Prior to the change, quail
came under the normal license (IOW, no stamp), and if Cheney has an old
lifetime license, there is some confusion over what is required. In
fact, they aren't even giving citations (just reminder warnings) for
such things until next season because of all the changes that occurred
recently with TX hunting regs - for example, "dove" stamps are now
required for all species, too.
