A marijuana grow has been taken down in Morris County, thanks to the keen eye of some local hunters. The plants were found off of County Road 2307, on the Morris and Cass County borders.

Hunters who had gone to prepare their hunting properties for the upcoming season discovered the 4,406 marijuana plants on their property. The hunters contacted Texas Department of Public Safety, who also contacted The Drug Enforcement Agency, Texas Game Wardens, and Morris County Sheriff ’s Department.

According to Morris County Sheriff Jack Martin, there was a campsite located in the area of the plants. “There was a campsite there with the plants. They were camping on the property where the plants were being grown, but they were gone by the time we arrived.”

The plants that were confiscated during the bust have an estimated value of $2 million.
