Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries

Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries enforcement agents cited two Louisiana men for alleged deer hunting violations on Nov. 11 in Evangeline Parish.
Agents cited Jordan Richard, 23, of Mamou, and Dylan Santoro, 25, of Ville Platte, for possession of an illegally taken deer, hunting deer using illegal methods and failing to wear hunter’s orange. Agents also cited Richard for failing to comply with deer tagging requirements and failing to possess a big game hunting license.

People in south Louisiana don’t often pay attention to news from a relatively obscure research facility in Maryland, but the announcement that the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center is winding down its whooping crane breeding program has a special connection to us.

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries has completed the transition to its new regional office at 200 Dulles Drive, Lafayette.
