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 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.

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.

Some people own land that has cash crop or money on it. Varmits destroy them. And some animals are over populated thanks to people not shooting varmits and doing a little pest control. Circle of life baby. A bear would kill you if you walk into its cave wouldn’t it? The answer is yes. Does it want to no. But it will protect what’s his. It’s the rawest form of nature.

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!

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.

I've got a list of questions that I bet the warden will be asking as well. Who was denied hunting privileges on these properties? Who has a grudge against the property owners? Who is opening a new hunting l property? Who had their vehicle destroyed, running into a deer in recent times . Did somebody lose a family member in a traffic accident where a deer got hit in the road? coinciding with the startup of all these illegal shots? Any one of these answers could lead to suspect . Wasting these animals is bad enough. Out of season compounds it to a point where it's an excusable under any circumstances.

this also bothered me so looking at the 2024 Montana fishing regulations pdf and the only mention of endangered trout are bull trout otherwise only the western district has "stricter" trout rules regarding size limit depending on the type of body of water you're on. So either they misspoke or this was filmed awhile ago and they're no longer endangered kind of eluding to the slap on the wrist since they were on the come up anyways
