## Caption

Texas Game Wardens announced two busts this week. The first was a trespasser intent on hunting his porta-potty blind on property where he didn't have permission, the second was a hay-bale full of undocumented men.⁠
⁠
Using patience and a trail camera, Texas Game Wardens arrested a trespasser on his way to a blind on private property he didn’t have permission to hunt. The case started in 2023, when wardens discovered a deer blind converted from a Porta-Potty on private land in Henderson County in East Texas. Unable to catch the trespasser that season, law enforcement set a trail camera on the property line and waited. Sure enough, on opening day of the 2024 season, the wardens nabbed the trespasser on camera.⁠
⁠
In another bizarre blind case of a more serious nature also announced Monday, wardens assisting with Operation Lone Star, a long-running Texas border security program, responded to a call about a pickup truck bailout. A K-9 officer and his black Lab, Jake, responded. Officials found the truck with at least one hay-bale in the bed and the driver gone. Jake was very interested in the bale, but his handler called him off to search for the missing driver. Jake and the officer got their man, because Texas wardens and good dogs usually do. In the meantime, other officers responding to the call were surprised when that same “bale” that had caught Jake’s attention rolled out of the truck. The bale turned out to be hay on the outside of a frame of woven wire, with 10 undocumented men hiding inside.⁠
