Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries enforcement agents cited a subject for an alleged deer hunting violation on Aug. 10 in East Baton Rouge Parish.
Agents cited Randall Tabor, 58, of Baker, for taking a deer during a closed season.
On Aug. 1, agents received information about a 10-point deer that was taken from a Baker residence during a closed season. During the investigation, agents determined that Tabor harvested the deer.
Agents made contact with Tabor and he admitted to taking the deer off his property in Baker on July 26 with a rifle. Agents seized the deer antlers and deer meat and donated the meat to a local charity.
Taking a deer during a closed season brings a $900 to $950 fine and up to 120 days in jail. Tabor may also face civil restitution totaling $2,033 for the replacement value of the illegally taken deer.
Agents participating in the case are Senior Agent Hunter Pearson, Corporal Trey Coats, Sgt. Ed Ridgel and Agent Ethan Arbour.
