Nugent said on his website Thursday that he discussed the matter with two agents on Thursday while in Oklahoma. "The meeting could not have gone better," he said. "I thanked them for their service, we shook hands and went about our business. God bless the good federal agents wherever they may be." Nugent said he was just speaking figuratively and that he didn't threaten anyone's life or advocate violence. "Metaphors needn't be explained to educated people," he said. A Secret Service spokesman has said the issue has been resolved. With hunting, Nugent has run afoul of the law before. In August 2010, California revoked Nugent's deer hunting license after he pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of deer-baiting and not having a properly signed tag. Nugent's loss of that deer hunting license through June 2012 allows 34 other states to revoke the same privilege under the Interstate Wildlife Violator Compact. Each state, however, can interpret and enforce the agreement differently.
