Wardens: Operation Whitefish | FD Real Show

Wardens - Season 3, Episode 11: Operation Whitefish | Outdoor Documentary
Watch 'Wardens - Season 3, Episode 12' here: • Wardens: Operation Whi...
In this episode:
This week, wardens come across a gruesome crime involving deer poachers as well as some illegal fishing activity. They also say goodbye to one of their own, as Captain Jeff Darrah retires from duty after 26 years on the job.
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.

I meet Jeff years ago he is a good man. Thanks for your year's of service.

[@csrlivestock7080]

I am a rancher in Australia and have been watching the Montana Wardens for some time now. In another life it would be a job I would love to take up. Like the Wardens protection of wildlife is critical for most Australian ranchers. Congratulations Jeff on a fine career I have seen you in action on the channel and you always showed fairness and dedication. Good luck going forward from Down Under.

[@thomasfreund7509]

It is not a shame that the world needs guys like them ? We do here in Africa fighting on lost post. But I do my best to provide anti poacher units or people with needed equipment.

Where abouts in AUS are you? I’m on the South East Coast of NSW & I feel the exact same way. Would love to have been a Game Warden! Do you hunt your property?

Happy retirement. And man the show will not be the same without you you really made it something special and showed us the laws and how passionate people should be and how passionate that the fish and game wardens are and you are just one of a kind and I hope your retirement is well and you still keep hunting and fishing and doing what you do thank you for everything that you've done for us and the show.

[@nmelkhunter1]

I remember when I first the episode in which Jeff Darrah retired, I was bummed yet happy for him. He's a good man. I think Kyle Miller did a great job being firm, yet fair with the fisherman he encountered. Community policing with honest people at its best!

[@jodyferguson3068]

Thank you for your service sir do you have had an exceptional career congratulations and all the best to you to come

[@conradmorin1891]

You are the real deal, a man with honesty, integrity, commom sense, and so many more positive attributes. Being a former cop in Northern Ontario, Canada, I wished I could have worked by your side, as unfortunately, many of my colleagues were criminals themselves, from the top down, and that is why I quit. What a nice tribute to your loving wife.....You are such an example to what a real man is. >>Wishing you a happy retirement....well earned, Sir!

[@rabbithomesteading3797]

Wow! The retirement of Captain Jeff Darrah almost brought me to tears!

[@randlerichardson5826]

Thank you for the 26 years of service.

[@Invincibletro]

Thank you Jeff, for your 26 years of service. The stress of this job isn't for most of us. Safe travels bud.

[@jesscobb2279]

Happy Trails Captain. Thanks for your service. I certainly hope those killer's get caught. Poaching is one thing. Taking game outside of season to feed your family is understandable if not condoned. But killing game just to kill is outrageous and it makes hunting very difficult because certain areas get closed, private land is no longer available, cuz ranchers get pissed off and no longer trust anyone, and new redundant and ridiculous regulations make it harder for the rest of us to have an effective hunt and feed our families.

[@riverratfishing]

Hope your retirement is perfect. Thanks for all of your awesome work. Hope your guys will catch those poachers.

[@kelliparker3107]

Gonna miss you Captain Jeff! Happy Retirement 😊

[@TheJTvonE]

Littering ticket for that was a real cool move by the officer

[@bullcrap9409]

Unreal. Eejit catches 3 endangered trout. Warden just tickets him as if they were simply too small. Eejit either knew, or should have known.

[@masstrapper7645]

Congratulations on your retirement. I hope the wardens caught the poachers. Hopefully there’s an update. 👍👍

[@garycarifelle7298]

Good job brother! 26 years! Well done!! You deserve Beer! Happy retirement!

[@jasondelaney527]

Beautiful country there boys! I'm envious!

[@L2FlyMN]

I greatly appreciate the warden who allows for unintentional mistakes!!! Most of us try very hard to follow the regs. Poachers are hated like non other by law abiding sportsman!

[@user-zu8re8zy8s]

Congratulations 🎉🎉 thank you for your service and please enjoy your family I'll miss seeing you in the Wardens❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@markblix6880]

I'm betting a youngster with his first rifle and beers is the poacher.

[@dondoyle8474]

Thank you for your service 🙏

[@joelstanhope7231]

They should look for someone who got busted by wardens before , poaching ( and leaving them ) is the way their getting revenge . The best wardens are formally poachers and know all the tricks

[@bettyjean2793]

Watching these videos, reminds me of reading Louis L'Amour books❤

[@timholcomb9926]

If I was you I would check with every Sporting Goods store pawn shop any store it would carry ammo like that where the Hilton narrow it down a little bit

[@petepeterson4540]

remember just because you are done at the office doesn't mean you are through being a game warden you have a phone you have your eye's use them and protect our natural resources as long as you breathe.

[@veronicacharnley2392]

26 YEARS ! YOU LOOK AO YOUNG! 20 MORE WOULD BE GREAT WITH THE BOYS! ❤CONGRATS ENJOY

[@JamesSmith-pc6bh]

I've never been able to understand why anyone would shoot any animal and just leave it. If you're not going to eat it don't kill it.

[@troyjaniszeski-rm5jk]

I just recently came across this show and absolutely love it!! As a truck driver it's not always easy to get into shows but this one I do watch every chance I get!

[@KenDavies-qv3fs]

Thank you to all Wardens

[@kennethsmith2952]

This whole video is great. I love their humor, its the same as when I was growing up.

[@AndyVandy516]

Next week on wardens, a family picnicking is believed to be up to something sinister, and a man who just helped a little old lady across the street and is now helping a motorist with a flat tire is wearing camo and is assumed to be a mass murderer. “Wardens; we see civilians and assume the worst”

[@truthsayer35]

FOUND THE POACHER!!!!

[@LiamLafrance931]

These are the coolest wardens ive ever seen!

[@forrestebert5276]

Congratulations on your 26 years of service! I’ve hunted out of the Alberton area with my friend that is a guide beautiful area. Enjoy your retirement! Now I hope when caught you don’t let up on those murderers who poached what 20 plus bucks! No making deals no nothing but lots of prison time but getting them out of society is best as it was deer then but they could get bored and move on to two legged game?

[@DialedIn57]

Happy Retirement and enjoy the next chapter in your life .

I’m a retiring businessman with many business success in my resume . I also am a nature, and all kind of animal true lover, if I was not in business I, would’ve been a Game-warden in a New York min. specialty in one of our northern states to protect this grate ,beautiful land, nature and animal of ours . I still wish I could and would ❤do that with no pay ,just sewer me in and give me bag ! I even buy everything including a truck and whatever equipment needed to put those illegal hunters/ poachers behind bars

Those were NOT the indangered west slope cutthroat, those were hybrid with rainbows. Sad that the carpet laws doesn't help the situation that it was intended for

I just started watching this. Is this show new? Just saw a game warden using a flip phone. I didn't know those were still made

[@MartinAston00]

5:48 chill asz game warden 👍

[@Invincibletro]

They start out high risk because the individual they are pursuing is normally armed, and in the act of a felony.

[@adampurcell7119]

One thing for sure is that you would come first in dragging something out

[@thomasfreund7509]

Do not know the numbers of poachering in the States, but here in the southern Africa the numbers rising up from year to year.

[@saxman7131]

It’s wanton waste and it can’t be tolerated.

Nice work Jeff

Why would anyone shoot any thing and just leave it to rot theses people should be sent to jail for a very long time

It seems such a shame it cant be left for nature. I get there ate reasons for that decision but still, there must be a use for it some where. Even the hide or the bones. So wastefull. I have garnered such knowledge from this program.

They do that for us in Ohio sometimes . But most of us vets don't really need help shooting lol

I am a Hunter since I was young , but this is not a Hunter, It must be really sick people doing this

[@kencleg7721]

That’s messed up. I hate to see deer hit by cars know this it’s a resource that’s getting squeezed by people

[@louienicoson8583]

I live here. This isn't cool. And no media attention.

[@VaderisOne]

Why don’t they use cell phone data to narrow down the list of suspects if they have a good idea of when the deer was shot, not hard. They can even cross reference cell data of the incident of last year and see if any cell phones match up. I mean come on, I hope they are doing that basic thing

[@robfree6874]

Should have had a metal detector for the second deer

[@timholcomb9926]

I can almost bet y'all I can catch more poachers

[@randallsmerna384]

I've never heard of catching a fish that's too big...

[@markblix6880]

It's called a slot harvest. Like walleye, example 15 - 22in. Protect young to grow up and older are big breeders to make young. It works for the harvest.

No one should have to pay to fish or hunt when we allready pay taxes...

[@quasar8898]

I would have some sympathy for someone poaching game to feed their family- times are rough. But, killing deer and just leaving them to rot? Makes no sense..

[@RichardSpeights]

How does a game warden have police power beyond issues concerning fish and wildlife? Our Forefathers are rolling over in their graves.

[@mikedunn2460]

Game Wardens and Conservation Law Enforcement Officers are sworn and certified law enforcement officers of the state they are in and have full arrest authority.

[@RichardSpeights]

@@mikedunn2460 Their concern is fish and wildlife. Why would anyone in his or her right mind make them police officers, since when I'm not fishing or hunting I'm well outside their scope of interest? Not every official needs to be a cop.

[@mikedunn2460]

@@RichardSpeights Game Wardens go through the same Basic Law Enforcement Training that all police officers, deputies, and state troopers go through. That is why they are certified sworn law enforcement officers. The training for the enforcement of fish and game rules and regulations is done after they graduate basic law enforcement training. By using your logic, a wildland firefighter should just mind their business if they see a structure on fire while they are driving by, Afterall they are supposed to fight wildfires not house fires..

[@RichardSpeights]

@@mikedunn2460 First, don't put words in my mouth. You clearly don't do it well. Second, I think they, like their predecessors, can do the job at hand without being a cop.

[@mikedunn2460]

@@RichardSpeights First spare me the internet tough guy stance. it is old and worn out. Secondly I did not put anything in your mouth I said using your logic. Thirdly no matter how much you do not like it, the game wardens are in fact police officers and if they witness a crime being committed, they are obligated to stop it.
