Lawmaker brags about deer kill, faces fine

But his
pride turned to embarrassment when state Rep. Terry Harrison was told what he
did might have been illegal because he didn't have a permit to shoot the
animal. The McAlester News-Capital reports that Harrison's friend, Oklahoma
Department of Wildlife Conservation game warden Shane Fields, called him after
seeing the story in the newspaper and suggested he research hunting
regulations.
Harrison says his heart "just sunk" when he realized his
mistake. He called the agency and a game warden wrote him a $296 ticket.
Harrison says he wrote some of the state's hunting laws and should've known
better.
