Agents with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries cited two men for alleged hunting violations on Feb. 12 in Lafayette Parish.
Lane K. Leblanc, 19, of Duson, was cited for hunting ducks and geese during closed seasons, hunting without a basic license, hunting without a state duck license and hunting without a federal duck stamp. Agents also cited Austin J. Credeur, 19, of Rayne, for hunting without a basic hunting license, according to a news release.
