No hunting licenses for Romney

Officials in the four states where Mitt Romney has lived say the Republican presidential contender, who calls himself a lifelong hunter, never took out a license.

Romney, formerly Massachusetts’ governor, says that is because he seldom has hunted where he needed one.

Questions about his hunting activities trailed Romney last week after he remarked at a campaign stop that he had been a hunter nearly all his life. The next day, his campaign said Romney had gone hunting just twice -- once as a teenager in Idaho and last year with GOP donors in Georgia.

That was wrong, Romney said a day later. He said he had hunted rabbits and other small animals for many years, mainly in Utah. Hunting certain small game there does not require a license.
