Cheney was not licensed
From correspondents in Dallas, Texas
15feb06US Vice-President Dick Cheney’s office sent a $US7 ($9.50[AUS]) cheque to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department after it emerged he was hunting illegally when he accidentally shot a fellow hunter.
Both Mr Cheney and the man he shot in the face, neck and chest, Texan lawyer Harry Whittington, 78, had been hunting quail without the $US7 game bird stamps on their licences.
The two men, who had valid hunting licences, were issued warning citations, but there will be no fine or other penalty.
Laws obviously only apply to the “little people.”
