Trevor Truax, age 29 and of Bogalusa, was sentenced on August 27, 2024, by U.S. District Court Magistrate Judge, Janis van Meerveld, to three years of inactive probation suspending his hunting privileges world-wide, a fine of $15,290.00 and a $40.00 mandatory special assessment fee.
Counts 1 and 2 charged Truax with Taking Migratory Birds During Closed Season; Counts 3 and 4 charged Truax with Taking Migratory Birds Over the Limit.
According to court documents, Truax admitted to Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries agents that he illegally duck hunted on multiple occasions in Louisiana and Mississippi. Agents cited Truax for the illegal taking of migratory game birds during the closed season and for taking over the limit of ducks/migratory game birds in Washington Parish, Louisiana. Truax also previously pled guilty to migratory game bird offenses in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi.
The United States Attorney’s Office would also like to acknowledge the assistance of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries with this matter. This case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Mary Katherine Kaufman of the General Crimes Unit.
