BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries agents have accused at least 15 men of breaking turkey hunting rules in the season's first two weeks.

Five were cited for hunting over baited areas in southwest Louisiana. 1 of them also was cited for marijuana possession and another for using an electronic call.

Ten were cited in central Louisiana - four for hunting over baited areas, three for hunting turkeys without tags; one for failure to tag a turkey; one for hunting on a restricted area of a wildlife management area; and one with using a tag on someone else's turkey.

One man was cited in Rapides Parish for hunting turkey without proper licenses, without tags, in a closed area and with violating wildlife management area rules and regulations.
