A Louisiana hunting guide has pleaded guilty to harassing duck hunters and shooting their decoys

VENICE, La. (AP) — A Louisiana hunting guide has pleaded guilty to harassing duck hunters and shooting their decoys.

The 32-year-old local guide from Buras was trying to make the other duck hunters leave public land in Venice so he could hunt there, Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries enforcement spokesman Adam Einck said in an email on Tuesday.

“It is public land, so it is first come first serve and the duck hunters he harassed were already set up in that area,” Einck wrote.

A judge sentenced the man on April 12 to pay a $1,075 fine, a $200 civil penalty to the department, and restitution for the decoys, the department said in a news release on Tuesday.
