Game wardens set record — but not for antler spread

Game wardens in Starr County recently caught three men over their bag limit — baggies of pot, that is.

The 2 tons of marijuana they found, with an estimated street value of nearly $4 million, undoubtedly would fill plenty of baggies. Instead, the state game wardens, working with U.S. Border Patrol agents, seized the pot while it still was in larger packages — 409 of them — waiting to be shipped north.

On Wednesday, a game warden had received information about a drug stash house, according to a news release from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.

The game warden contacted the Border Patrol, and officers from both agencies went to the residence near Salineno, a small community on the Rio Grande.
