Wildlife and fisheries agents cited two men for alleged duck hunting violations in St. Martin Parish.
On May 3, two men, 26-year-old Lane Borel and 53-year-old Leland Guidry Jr. of St. Martinville were cited for hunting ducks during a closed season and wanton waste of migratory game birds.
LDWF agents observed two vehicles parked on a levee adjacent to a rice field near Catahoula. They discovered the two men were allegedly hunting waterfowl in the ponds and had killed black-bellied whistling ducks.
Hunting ducks during a closed season and wanton waste of migratory game birds brings a $400 to $950 fine and up to 120 days in jail for each offense.
The men may also face civil restitution penalties totaling $126 for the replacement value of the ducks.
