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.

You don’t need a $7 “tag” to hunt humans. As he’s proven many times over.
