Gueydan man charged with hunter harassment

A Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries enforcement agent cited a subject for alleged hunter harassment on Oct. 28 in Vermilion Parish.
Agents received a complaint on Oct. 24 from a resident of Gueydan about his neighbor shooting a shotgun and revving up an All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) on multiple days while he was deer hunting.
Agents made contact with his neighbor, Ernest Patin, 71, and he admitted to agents that he was shooting his shotgun and revving his ATV in an effort to keep deer away from his neighbor while he was hunting. Patin said he and his neighbor were in a dispute so he was doing this as retaliation.
Hunter harassment brings up to a $350 fine.
Agents involved in this case are Sgt. Justin Sonnier and Lt. David Sanford.
