"Officers from the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation (ODWC) got a surprise on Sunday when they found three men poaching doves over bait, and then discovered that their blind was made almost entirely out of marijuana plants. The incident took place in Major County."
“Sunday morning, August 30th, did not start out like a normal day for game wardens Phillip Cottrill (Garfield County) and Lt. Frank Huebert (Major County). A passer by called in and reported seeing some Mojo dove decoys spinning in a field. The wardens arrived to find 3 guys dove hunting over bait. Strangely, they were using dove blinds that were built out of marihuana plants. The dove poachers were in possession of 45 dove, marihuana buds and a pipe,” stated the department on its Facebook page.
The men were reportedly so distracted, they did not even notice the game wardens approaching.
“We came in from behind,” Huebert told News 9. “They didn’t know we were there until we were right there.”
