Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries enforcement agents cited two subjects for alleged migratory waterfowl violations in Richland Parish on Jan. 31.

Agents federally cited Bradley R. Allen, 39, and Caleb A. Gandy, 40, both of Rayville, for taking over the limit of ducks.

Agents received information about a pair of hunters that were taking over the limit of ducks in Cypress Brake off of Bee Bayou at the end of January. Agents setup surveillance on the area and observed Allen and Gandy hunting ducks in this area.

Agents made contact with the subjects and found them in possession of 14 ducks. During questioning, agents learned that they also harvested 28 ducks on Jan. 24 and 24 ducks on Jan. 25 from this same area.

The daily bag limit for ducks is six per licensed hunter. Agents also found out the subjects took over the daily limit of pintails on Jan. 24.

Federal charges for being over the limit of ducks are filed with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for prosecution in Federal Court.

Agents involved in the case are Sgt. Josh Estis, Sgt. Joe Chandler Jr., Corporal Stephen Lacombe and Lt. James Hagan.
