PRESIDIO – On opening weekend of dove season, a Presidio County game warden was patrolling for hunting activity on Highway 170 when he observed a suspicious vehicle parked on the side of the road. As he got closer to the vehicle, he noticed two hunters tucked along the fence-line facing toward the highway. The warden informed the hunters that they were hunting the roadway, to which one of the hunters stated that he owned land in the area and stated a game warden said it was alright to hunt at least 30 feet away from the road. The same hunter went on to tell the warden it has been 21 years since he has seen a game warden. Citations were issued to the hunters for hunting on the public roadway. The case is pending.
