A 22-year-old Zachary man, Jahrii Rice, is facing significant legal repercussions after being cited for multiple deer hunting violations in East Baton Rouge Parish. Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries enforcement agents allege Rice hunted deer during illegal hours using a spotlight and shotgun, and he exceeded the daily limit by harvesting three deer on the same day, all while his hunting license was revoked.
Authorities discovered Rice cleaning two does and a buck at his residence early on November 14 after receiving reports of illegal hunting activities nearby.
