Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries enforcement agents cited a subject on Dec. 1 for alleged deer hunting violations in Rapides Parish.

Agents cited Jarrod S. Gypin, 38, of Alexandria, for taking over the limit of deer, taking deer using illegal methods, taking deer during illegal hours and hunting while under a hunting license revocation.

Agents received information on Nov. 28 about Gypin harvesting deer illegally. During the investigation, agents discovered that Gypin harvested seven deer during the 2025-26 deer-hunting season while under hunting license revocation.

Agents also learned that Gypin took two of the deer with a shotgun during an archery only season and two of the deer illegally at night with a .308 caliber rifle.

Agents seized the deer meat and donated the meat to Hunters for the Hungry. Agents also seized a .308 caliber rifle.

The seasonal limit for deer is six and seasonal limit for antlered deer is three for the area Gypin harvested his deer.

Taking deer during illegal hours brings a $900 to $950 fine and up to 120 days in jail. Taking over the limit of deer, taking deer using illegal methods and hunting while under a hunting license revocation carries a $250 to $500 fine and up to 90 days in jail.
