Rock guitarist and gun-rights advocate Ted Nugent pleaded guilty Tuesday to a federal wildlife violation in Alaska, stemming from a 2009 hunting trip in which he shot more than the legal limit of black bears. An avid hunter, Nugent was reportedly contrite about the incident, which he says he didn’t know was illegal.

“I would never knowingly break any game laws,” Nugent told Magistrate Judge Michael Thompson by telephone, according to the Anchorage Daily News. “I’m afraid I was blindsided by this, and I sincerely apologize to everyone for it.”
