Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries enforcement agents cited two subjects for alleged duck hunting violations in Calcasieu Parish on Jan. 31.

Agents cited Billy Brown, 35, of Dequincy, and Evan Stanley, 31, of Dequincy, for hunting migratory game birds over a baited area, placing bait to take migratory game birds, violating non-toxic shot requirements and aiding and abetting others in taking migratory game birds over bait. Agents also cited Brown for hunting migratory game birds with an unplugged gun and without possessing a federal duck stamp.

Agents received information about a baited pond near Sulphur. Agents setup surveillance on the area and observed the subjects actively hunting over the baited area on Jan. 31.

This migratory game bird case will be filed with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for prosecution in Federal Court.

Agents involved in the case are Sgt. Stuart Guillory, Corporal Michael Treadway, Senior Agent Chelsea Moudry, Senior Agent William Callegari, Lt. Beau Robertson, Sgt. Justin Lowry, Sgt. Anthony Verret and Senior Agent Dylan Armentor.
