Blindsided
One late afternoon, a Texas Game Warden received a call from the lease master of a hunting property regarding poaching on a neighboring property. The lease master stated that his son and daughter-in-law were walking to their deer blind when they crossed paths with a male subject carrying a rifle. The hunters asked the man where he was going, and the man stated that he was headed to his deer blind. The hunters explained that he was hunting on private property. The man replied that he had been hunting on the property since 1986 and would continue to do so, no matter what. The warden arrived at the ranch property and located the man hunting illegally inside a deer blind hidden in the brush. The male subject was identified and charged with hunting without landowner consent and criminal trespass.
