Over three days, Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) enforcement agents issued 60 citations for migratory game bird hunting violations across the state. This enforcement action took place from November 21 to November 23, shortly after the duck, coot, and merganser hunting seasons opened in different zones on November 15 and 22.
Among the violations, agents cite 18 individuals for taking over the limit of ducks and others for not possessing a federal duck stamp.

Such violations can also lead to federal charges prosecuted in U.S. District Court.
