When your job is protecting our most precious natural resources in some of the nation’s most remote areas, there is rarely a dull moment. Wardens chronicles the lives of Conservation Officers in America. The show features the men and women who protect public lands, from ride-alongs on interstate game checks, to anti-poaching sting operations; from remote snowmobile trails in grizzly bear country, to unforgiving white-water rapids. While the focus of Wardens is enforcement of regulations, the show takes special precautions to ensure the general public understand those who would violate the rules are the minority and the vast majority of encounters with our Wardens are law-abiding citizens.

Ive dealt with multiple wardens here in the south and these guys on this show are over the top. Love how they all say Not the crime of the century. But treat it as it is

[@bpdp379]

Which story exactly was over the top? Everyone got a break with the exception of the spotlighting booze cruise…

[@daltonfox6188]

How are they taking that long to set up decoys with out any traffic coming by seeing them do it?

[@jeffbauer1609]

The restriction on antler length for spike bucks is so asinine. Any spike is nearly guaranteed to be a 1 year old deer. Therefore, the antler length is of zero consequence. How can any hunter reasonably judge that in the field?

[@llioness5252]

Natural resources

[@johnjohnson798]

Had a good idea, use those confiscated bucks with a taxidermist and turn them into buck catching mechanical traps and donate them to your local wardens!

[@MarkyMark1986]

Man that kid got off easy. Drunk driving and shooting a decoy what about the felony alcohol/firearm charge. He should get a little prison time

[@Jasoc3577]

I know it’s a little late but make sure you measure through your binoculars to make sure you not a couple of inches off

[@danielgc1970]

What's up with all these camaca men zooming on nose hairs?

[@69n420]

Remember to measure the deers antlers before shooting guys

[@timothyransom7101]

Or a better idea is be sure of your target in the fact that it's legal and be familiar with laws and regulations in the state in which you hunt. Doing this would prevent having to carry a tape measure and trying to run down or catch a deer to measure antlers. 😊

[@englewood1971]

When in doubt don't shoot. 😊

[@aarongilbertson3074]

Or a better idea tag it the correct way. The issue came from tagging it wrong

[@doughaven-rf8id]

A young hunter usually doesn't have the experience to make that judgement so should be hunting alongside an experienced hunter their first years. I have seen this many times where ... " They are young and didn't know" ... not a good enough reason.@@timothyransom7101

[@bhbvgh4487]

[@englewood1971]

Im taking it that these wardens don't have the power to arrest which is surprising. I was a State Park Ranger here in Colorado and we could throw the bracelets on people and arrest them for some of these violations. Poaching, DUI, possession of a firearm while intoxicated, eluding a stop. State Park Rangers can make physical arrests for misdemeanor and felony offenses and for warrants.😎

[@davidalexander4043]

there in hears. one elk really on the side of the road hunters poachers

[@GlendaGolding]

What are the regulations for someone who is living off their land? Do they still have to report killing animals on their land and have a hunting license?

[@TheAcenightcreeper]

Yes, animals are not private property, they belong to the public…only time private land matters is if you are hunting farmed animals like pheasants, private fishing ponds, farmed deer with high fences…

[@danikettunen3796]

Living off of the land does not mean you are exempt from following hunting and fishing regulations. Unless you fall under tribal regulations.

[@GlendaGolding]

Thank you for answering my questions. I’m not a hunter and haven’t really been around people who hunt. I was just curious how it worked for people living off grid on their land. Again thank you for answering my questions with respect.

[@Gunner-73]

As many dear that there are today and meat prices at $15.00 a pound, how can a game warden justify writing a ticket for people feeding their families. Especially over 2 inches of antler. I can not stomach watching a bunch of game warden act like everyone is a criminal and find some reason to write them a ticket.

[@raydowdy6914]

How much science is their in what you said about the meat not being good for 30 days after it put to sleep?

[@highjinx6519]

I’m guessing that’s how long the drugs stay in their system. That’s just a guess though.

[@kd5nrh]

@@highjinx6519 so, meat with a free buzz. What's the issue?

[@dbx1233]

So, the Game Wardens want to put an ear tag in the bears ear. A lot of people don't know, but if you gently and softly blow into the bear's ear they will lay down and go to sleep. It's really quite astonishing.

[@JiminTennessee]

Thank you Patriot Act for allowing the “authorities” to profile US Citizens for wearing a specific kind of shirt. Well done😂

[@JiminTennessee]

Also, how about someone telling these “authorities” they are performing an illegal search and seizure. And to go get a search warrant. Good grief…I have a shot that is safe and effective for sale 😅

[@bullcrap9409]

They aren’t. Don’t need a warrant if you’re trucking around the proof of your crime.

[@kd5nrh]

Especially irritating since I spend a lot of my weekends in camo doing wildlife photography. No bag limit or closed seasons for the camera, and endangered species are a bonus. Plus it gives me something to do with all the camo outside of the hunting seasons I'm interested in. But then, I'd also be the guy stalking their decoy with a camera. And if I figured out it was a decoy, I'd be extra sneaky right up until I can pop off a couple of big flash heads and blind anybody watching for the next 15 minutes.

[@danielstrother2494]

This dude thinks we need to stop even if we’re not hunting? 😂😂😂. Someone needs to educate him on the 4th amendment

[@nxrvll6301]

Is the elk decoy Not entrapment?

[@jackdundon2261]

Their argument is. Is it entrapment for Walmart to have clothing on his shelf or a candy bar and a store they put it there. You make the choice to shoot it or steal it.".

[@robertdwilliamsjr4781]

. How can it be entrapment. Entrapment is when police talk someone into committing a crime he/she would otherwise not commit. If you'd shoot at a decoy you think is a deer, you'd shoot at a deer if it was real. My best friend is a warden and I an armed security officer and had to take a lot of law enforcement tests

[@Tankeryanker339]

@@robertdwilliamsjr4781exactly no one twisted your arm to shoot the decoy

[@Berm_Blaster]

They aren't forcing anyone to shoot the decoy. It's no different than a bait car. Just cause it's there doesnt mean you have to shoot it.

[@kyleyeupell6145]

Ruby ridge was entrapment. These guys were never coerced into shooting at a decoy. They made that choice themselves.

[@brooklynnchick]

I’m a Montana native and a science educator; the Wardens are critical to maintaining the health of Montana’s natural animal resources. Without the limitations they enforce deer, elk, bison, antelope and our bird species would disappear to mystery meat casseroles or would rot in the fields. Fish would be over fished, raptors would be shot on sight and large carnivorous mammals like bobcat, bear, mountain lion would all be gone. Thanks warden service, you folks see weird stuff and everyone one forgets your branch of law enforcement, but without you the beauty and unique nature of our ecosystems would be impossible. ❤
