Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries enforcement agents cited a Lake Providence man for alleged deer hunting violations on Jan. 1 in East Carroll Parish.
Agents cited Bobbie Harvey, 52, for taking deer during illegal hours with artificial light.
Agents received a tip from the public about shots being fired in the early morning hours in Lake Providence on Dec. 25, 2018. Agents patrolled the area before legal shooting hours and found Harvey with a recently harvested eight-point deer on Jan. 1.
During the investigation, Harvey also admitted to taking a nine-point deer during the nighttime hours on the morning of Dec. 25, 2018.
Agents seized both deer.
Taking deer during illegal hours with artificial light brings a $900 to $950 fine and up to 120 days in jail. Harvey may also face civil restitution totaling $3,658 for the replacement value of the two deer.
