Wardens | Episode 9: Operation Moonshine | FD Real Show

[@aaronalto3034]

That 13 yo kid was the coolest kid! So sharp and on it, and loves his wild meats more than antlers. Best wishes little dude, and nice take.

[@dondoyle8474]

That kid is a hell of a hunter and has a great future!! Hats off to he and his friends 👍

[@chevyon37s]

Yeah doesn’t let the truth get in the way of a good story!

The excitement this kid has about the outdoors is infectious. Wish I saw more kids like this

[@raysplace6548]

Absolutely.. 🍻

[@Blair147]

Man those kids made me smile. Great job young men!!

[@genewileyopa]

Amazing those young fellows did everything right. I just chuckled as they each came puffing up the trail to drop the meat and then fall to the ground wore out. Made me happy for them. Thanks for sharing

[@kevbev1524]

What a great bunch of elk hunters, its good to see good friends help each other

[@jugghead-1975]

Damn i was so hoping he wasn't gonna give those young men a hard time... that's the absolute best possible outcome in my book ! Kids hunting hard and packing out those quarters up the mnt is outstanding! Salute

[@raysplace6548]

It sure is.. Good for them.. They're out there, getting after it. Pretty cool to see that.. 🍻

[@JohnnyD-no4cz]

It’s good to see kids still out there in the woods

[@Tyty12I]

Yeah, awesome to see

[@matthewberg7395]

I can really appreciate you checking that Hole situation out with the Kiddo's packing out an Elk! But it's super cool that you approached the situation the way you did. Good job and thank you for what you do!

[@RejectOneWorldGov]

He approached it ready to arrest everyone. Then was disappointed when it was looking like everything was legal.

[@allaboutroofing2]

*Whole

[@hubes96]

@@RejectOneWorldGov I can see why you think that. But I think that game Warden would be extremely hard to read what he was thinking or wanting to do. If I had my choice of game warden stopping and talking to my son and his friends it would be that guy. He was very good talking with them. He understood that kids that age to them everything is such a big deal. He was great with them! And gave them a ride back out!

[@lamegame420]

Ain't no damn reason to discourage them from doing something all the right way.

[@TheRaghorn]

Dont be gulible. He knows this is for TV. If it wasnt, he would not of been this nice. He was still grilling the kids praying he would find something. he is exactly the type that give wardens a bad name.

[@Justin-ve6kp]

"Oh this is good. This has a high potential for violation." What a strange statement.

[@chocolategravyandbiscuits8418]

He doesn’t seem like a hunter or outdoorsman to me.

[@TheRaghorn]

No thats a normal statement from many wardens. What makes this a high potential of being a high violation? All he knew is that someone told him that they heard someone killed a cow elk and was packing it out, and then he finds a game cart. Seems very normal to me.

[@Drofthechalice]

A pigs a pig. Like to make stuff up cause who's gonna call them on being a liar if they are wrong? If someone does they just double down and attack that person in the media.

[@tommyrsrracer]

I love those kids, enjoying the mountains, hunting and having a great time, that’s a story they’ll tell the rest of their lives. 👍

[@TheRatrod054]

Hands down, the best segment I've seen to date with the young gentlemen hunting. Their spirit and taste for adventure brings me back to my youth and renewed my faith a bit more for this new generation of kids. Hats off and congrats on the successful hunt, AWESOME!!!! MADE MY DAY!!!!

[@mikefrench4787]

I am thankful for the young men who packed their harvest out of the woods ! There friendship and helping together is a great ending to this particular investigation

[@MarkSc1]

Ethical young hunters are to be commended. Hope they stay safe and legal..

[@AmericansWillRise]

28:01 I re-watched this segment like 4 times, and am considering a 4th. Kudos to that officer, and how he handled this situation, was remarkable. Even though some of you are gonna say, "thats his job".... he did his job, in exemplary fashion!!

[@TheRaghorn]

Your right, it is his job, but when your starting your investigation and already saying it looks like a good chance to give out some tickets, your in the wrong. If you start your day with a negative attitude, your already a lousy employee.

[@mountainmetalhead2810]

That made my heart swell seeing those kids and how it all played out . Thank you to all our protectors of the great outdoors

[@Shilohii65]

Way to go warden. Do your job, commend the young men on doing things right, be cool with them about littering, and then give them a ride. That’s how things should go….smooth as butter.

[@ramrodrymensnyder2648]

Thats as cool as it gets, seeing those young boys out there getting it in makes my heart smile. Nice to know there are still some young men out there putting it in.

[@dawnmtwild5409]

I sure miss Steve, longtime friend near 20 years. Glad to see that they are still showing his videos 🤩

[@emiliohernandez2790]

Congrats to all you guys!Awesome shooting...The warden made a long shot look easy....Its archery season here so the hunt is on...Great job protecting the animals!

[@JenningsOutdoors]

I will give a compliment sandwich as Rinella would say... I have nothing but respect for the men and women that serve our outdoorsmen and protect our wildlife. It is such a cool show to watch through their perspective. ... I can not stand the commercial breaks and redundancy in content through out each minute of the show. ... I always wanted to be a warden or some sort of wildlife biologist growing up. I never followed through because I thought it would hinder my ability to enjoy the outdoors as I do now. Getting to see the warden at the end take an awesome muley was fantastic.

[@jamesupton143]

Good work guys. To the 13 year old, Super JOB. Congratulations.

[@edwardh1591]

Congratulations to that young man on his elk.

[@randolphbehm877]

I hate how shows like this bounce between 2 stories. Ever time they bounce back they repeat so much of the same story line. By the time the show is over you watched 5 minutes of footage 8 times over….

[@ethand.7801]

“Oh this is good. This has very high potential for a violation”. Ag yes, that’s what we love to hear from a warden. Out to get you

[@nrolled2888]

Exactly.

[@WanderingBobAK]

Follow the law, you have nothing to worry about!

[@wigit2216]

its almost like there are rules for a reason.

[@ethand.7801]

You guys are missing the point. Law enforcers should be happy to see people abiding by the law, not getting excited hoping they can charge them with something…

[@wigit2216]

@@ethand.7801 wildlife crimes are a big deal. May seem minor but these crimes destroy ecosystems and harm the animal population of course they are gonna be looking for it. One of the greatest features of montana is our pristine habits so we won't let people destroy it. This situation is much different then if it was a city cop then I would agree with you.

[@saceyasa2309]

SO impressed by those young men hunters. Thats the future of hunting right there, and its great.

[@Bullrider33Outdoors]

Honesty Does Go Along Way That's Good Education About The Birds Being Wasted SAS That Much Meat Went To Waste But Least These Guys Learned A Valuable Lesson And Spread The Word Around

[@saltyOG]

Reading the regulations until you have a firm grasp on them is every hunter’s responsibility. Honesty means nothing to law enforcement. Everything you say WILL be used against you.

[@hubes96]

That Game Warden is awesome, has a very unassuming nature about him, that serves him well I’m sure! Very good at questioning!

[@glennjackson100]

From my own chef background. The pheasant case, absolutly beilders me! 60 birds, thats 120 drumsticks worth of good quality meat that is just absolutely squandered

Nothing like being guilty before innocent. Wardens got a bad attitude

I live in Pennsylvania and about 10 years ago came across a bunch of complete game birds dumped by a stream fish and game are 2 separate things in this state and I called and reported what I found and after talking to both places I was basically told they wouldn't DO anything about it not even going out to check it out so glad someone is doing their job unlike most in this state

It amazes me how people talk their way into trouble if they just keep their mouth shut they wouldn’t have any proof in more than half of the cases. People they are not your friends and you do not have to talk to the game wardens provide your license and tell them you don’t answer questions

[@TheAcenightcreeper]

A lot of the issue is the power that wardens have…if you dont cooperate, they will confiscate everything they believe may be linked to the poaching…and then have you fight it in court…so even without admission, wardens can claim there is an abundance of evidence that points to you…and make you go to court

[@Drofthechalice]

Oh. Game wardens are just like municipal cops. A country pig instead of an urban pig. They will lie as they get no questions asked about their story till court. And they will double down and attack anyone questioning them.
