ALLIED AGENCY NEWS
Game wardens with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department provide these fi eld notes from cases handled in the fall of 2014.
Sandbox love story In the Red Sands/Montana Desert area in eastern El Paso County, a man
lost his car and his girlfriend. The couple had gone joyriding when the car got stuck in the sand. The boyfriend then left on foot to get to the main road and call for help,
since cell service was unavailable in the desert area. He headed back to the desert with 2 friends who had come to help, but
he could not remember where his girlfriend and vehicle were. He and his friends asked 2 El Paso game wardens for help. After 2 hours of searching, the wardens called for the assistance of a Texas DPS helicopter. After a quick fl yover, the pilots found the car stuck in a sandpit. The lost woman was dehydrated and dizzy but in good condition. Shots fi red in the end zone Last year, a Longview game warden received information about illegal
dove hunting over a baited fi eld near a football fi eld in the Pine Tree ISD. The information included reports of shotgun pellets hitting bleachers dur- ing a junior varsity football game. This year, the game warden returned to the fi eld on opening morning of dove season and found a group of hunters hunting over a baited fi eld behind the stadium end zone.

had found a buck that had been shot and dragged into the brush behind a deer feeder.

killed the buck and hid it because it didn’t meet the ranch harvest rules, and he was not supposed to shoot bucks in the fi rst place. A Bastrop Coun- ty game warden assisted in getting statements. Facebook fi sh market After receiving information that a man was selling fi sh on Facebook,
Cameron County game wardens contacted the man to set up a buy. The wardens arrived at the man’s residence where he was selling the fi sh, including red drum, spotted sea trout, fl ounder and sheepshead. After the man sold the fi sh to the wardens, the wardens issued the
man citations that included not having a retail fi sh dealer license, sale and purchase of commercially protected fi sh and possession of undersize red drum.
