From Press Release:
Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries enforcement agents cited a Haynesville man for alleged deer hunting violations on Oct. 28 in Claiborne Parish.
Agents cited Roy W. Odom, 66, taking over the daily bag limit of antlerless deer and failing to comply with deer tagging requirements.
Agents received a public tip about a man cleaning two doe deer at a shop near Haynesville around 10 p.m. Agents responded to the scene and found Odom currently cleaning one doe with another uncleaned doe on the ground next to him.
During questioning, Odom admitted to harvesting both does earlier in the day. Hunters are only allowed one antlerless and one antlered deer per day during either sex dates in the area Odom was hunting.
Agents also found both deer without the required deer tags.
Possessing over the daily bag limit of deer brings a $250 to $500 fine and up to 90 days in jail. Failing to comply with deer tagging requirements carries a $100 to $350 fine and up to 60 days in jail. Odom may also face up to $3,250 in civil restitution for the replacement value of the deer.
Agents involved in the case are Corporal Bryant Coburn and Lt. Kenneth Balkom.
