These are always a hoot to read.
Recently, a Grayson County game warden found an individual who had exceeded
his striped bass limit. The man told the warden that he thought he could
catch a limit then return to catch another limit. Charges are pending.

Recently, a Van Zandt County game warden apprehended a group of individuals
who were spotlighting from a county road. The warden recovered a loaded
shotgun with slugs and a spotlight from the vehicle. When asked why he was
shooting slugs, the driver stated the last time he got caught hunting from a
road, the game warden seized his good deer rifle. Multiple charges were
filed.
and my favorite -
A Montgomery County game warden was out looking for dove hunters. While
approaching where shots were heard, he observed someone standing on the tank
dam in his underwear. Not knowing where the other hunters were, the warden
decided to wait and listen for more shots. Shortly after noticing the person
on the tank dam, he saw the person wade out into the tank and dogpaddle to a
dove that had been shot, proceed to retrieve the dove in his mouth and
dogpaddle back onto the bank. After contact was made, three teenagers stated
since they didn't have a lab to retrieve the dove from the water and the one
in his underwear was the lab volunteer for the day. They were found to be
hunting without hunting licenses and had unplugged shotguns.
Good luck!
