What’s the difference in getting a federal ticket from a game warden and just a regular ticket and how do they determine fines on amount of ducks?

Migratory game birds are under federal jurisdiction and go to federal court.
Not sure how it’s determined but it can be as much as a couple hundred per bird.
Not sure what the maximum per bird is though. Everyone I know of it has cost them a grand or more.

There is a replacement cost for any animal/bird killed illegally. Ducks are around 200 each.
Biggest difference is going to local court you or your family may know the DA and get some leniency.
Going up on federal charges the US Attorney looks at you as another skin in the wall. As MCHammer puts it it’s “Hammer time”.

Violations on NWRs also go to federal court.
Not all waterfowl violations are federal such as hunting on a WMA that stops hunting at noon or 2, that’s a state law - local court.
Shooting before or after legal time by feds rule is federal.
Baiting, lead shot, no plug, over limit etc are federal.
I know shooting after legal sunset on the last day of the season is also hunting in a closed season.
And lawyers charge more for federal court

You kill a bunch of pintails baw?
quote:
Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) enforcement agents cited two adults and a juvenile for alleged migratory game bird violations in LaSalle Parish on Dec. 20. Agents cited Colton H. Nettles, 25, of Woodville, Miss.; Brandon L. Nettles, 37, of Woodville, Miss.; and a 16-year old juvenile for taking over the daily limit of ducks, taking over the daily limit of pintail, and intentional concealment of wildlife. Colton Nettles and Brandon Nettles were also cited for contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile. On Dec. 20, an off duty agent on Catahoula Lake observed three subjects in a blind that he suspected of being over the limit of pintails. An agent was contacted and setup surveillance on the blind. The agent observed the group harvesting more pintails. The agent then made contact with Colton Nettles, Brandon Nettles and the juvenile in the blind where he found them in possession of five pintails and 13 other ducks. The daily limit of pintails is one per licensed hunter. After further investigation, the agent located seven additional pintails hidden about 30 yards behind the blind. In total, the three subjects were found in possession of 25 ducks, of which 12 were pintail. The daily limit for total number of ducks is six per licensed hunter. Colton Nettles and Brandon Nettles were both charged federally for over the daily limit of pintails and ducks and those charges will be referred to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for federal prosecution. Intentional concealment of wildlife brings up to a $950 fine and 120 days in jail. Contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile carries up to a $500 fine and six months in jail. The subjects may also face civil restitution totaling $319 for the replacement value of the illegally taken ducks. Agents involved in the case are Senior Agent Raymond Davis and Corporal Cole Cupit.

I know you go to Federal Court
A buddy of mine got caught across a off limits line duck hunting and had to go to Shreveport for Federal Court.
The violation was by accident in flooded timber where they have white lines painted on trees, they were 50 yards inside and green jeans got them.

Not me. Did read about that but was just wondering why some get federal tickets and some of my buddies just pay a fine to the parish court.

Anything related to migratory game birds is Federal.
other violations such as fishing and hunting of deer, squirrels, rabbits falls under state jurisdiction.
Federal it all depends, the old judge in lafayette was brutal. Mildred Methvin. She handed out very harsh sentences for duck hunters who just made a mistake.
