Officials in the four states where Mitt Romney has lived say the Republican presidential contender, who calls himself a lifelong hunter,
never purchased a license.
Romney says that is because he seldom has hunted where he needed one.
Questions about his hunting activities trailed Romney this past week after he remarked at a campaign stop that he has 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.
