BASTROP — A Franklin Parish man who entered his trophy buck in a
local competition has been cited for alleged hunting violations and
contest fraud.
The Louisiana Department of Wildlife &
Fisheries announced the charges against Billy W. Jordan, 54, of
Winnsboro on Monday. LDWF Enforcement Division agents had received
information that Jordan had taken a buck in Catahoula Parish using a
.204 caliber rifle -- in violation of state law, which requires that
deer can only be taken with a center fire rifle at least .22 caliber
or larger.
