Texas Woman Found With Protected Wildlife | Austin News

Texas game wardens busted a shocking wildlife crime in East Texas—finding protected species like crested caracaras, great horned owls, otters, and a groundhog frozen in freezers at a woman’s home. She now faces multiple charges for illegal possession and hunting violations, with birds already handed over to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
