Yellowstone Wardens

O came across this show while looking for simething to watch on Max. A very entertaining series with amazing Montanna scenery. Love how the wardens of Yellowstone take their jobs seriously and how they try and work out any issues with hunters who have made honest mistakes, but come down brutally hard on those who knowingly and repeatedly violate the law.

They will especially work with the younger hunters who they try and teach a lesson to, while not taking away from their enjoyment and enthusiasm for the sport, just for making a mistake. I haven't been hunting, but it is something I would definitely like to do.

Watched 1st episode from curiosity & became truly disgusted at the uncaring wardens who utterly FAIL to protect wildlife & REFUSE to enforce anti poaching / hunting laws in USA. No great scenery shown. No scenery at all except in car close ups or barren land zooms. This show highlights how these "veteran wardens" do NOT care about animal cruelty nor Illegal hunting / poaching of even endangered species in Yellowstone area.

This does show park wardens are very focused with PPL welfare, esp adults drinking liquor while lounging on anchored boats; & minor jet ski scrape which requires 3 warden teams to question few ppl for hours & make 1 arrest despite NO ONE nor creature was injured.

Yet re ILLEGAL hunting- wardens have total apathy which causes those few caught violators to repeatedly poach again bc virtually no consequences IF caught. When a large elk with huge antlers is found dead bc shot elk managed to walk 100 feet after being cruelly shot twice with exploding bullets, the warden repeats in awe "what a great trophy" ignoring TWO HUGE literal 1 FOOT WIDE deep manmade holes on the buck's R shoulder & R rear flank. The 14 point antler buck def suffered, but all the warden focused was on slaughtered elk's "great trophy antlers," enviously admiring the long antlers instead of showing any concern of how elk suffered before it was shot twice & died on private FENCED NO HUNTING LAND.

Re "endangered YOUNG FEMALE mule buck", another veteran warden fails to penalize 2 poachers who KNOWingly broke laws. Real significant penalties exist to deter illegal hunting endangered species. Here Warden questions both men for over 20 minutes & warden's dog finds poachers 5 inch bullet casing- evidence they're culprits. Incredulously, Warden states he "chooses not to fine them" bc they "told the truth & did him a solid." WTH??!! So lying for 20 minutes, proof found , & they finally ADMIT SOLE GOAL IS POACHING this ENDANGERED species, NONE are factors in warden's refusal to penalize them. These poachers were literally dragging female mule buck behind their car with tied rope.

If one wants to see how lax & Inept our paid park wardens are, funded by taxpayers $$ not poachers $$, then, watch this nauseating mistitled "reality show." These wardens are more concerned being stars of a 5 season show than doing their jobs- enforcing hunting/ anti poaching laws. There are unlimited illegal hunters who are NOT caught, fact this show omits. Series is Absolute garbage. All these wardens need replacing & deserve no federal benefits.

And the USA complains about other countries not protecting their remaining wildlife?

Didn't like the conservation warden shows of Montana. They don't give stiff enough fines and punishments to wildlife violators. For example, the episode with the panicky, cowardly man who shot the female mother bear while she was protecting her 2 cubs, leaving them orphaned. He should have to pay heavily for that. And individuals who are so afraid of wildlife like that, should not be allowed to carry or own guns. Then the other episode, with the drunken 'hunters' shooters, with beer cans and liquor bottles falling out of their car, after poaching and illegally shootings deer and bucks; they should face big fines, and even imprisonment.

Learning about fish and game and then your assaulted with a synth beat that sounds like a German figure skating competition turned up so loud you can't hear people talk. The wardens could do a better job for heavens sake. Get a grip. This isn't your Steele Dan outbreak moment big dawg.

Otherwise the show is very interesting. The wardens are very professional and knowledgeable. The scenery and animals are beautiful. It's great to see wildlife and land being taken care of with this level of compassion. Also some top tier facial hair. A mustache means the law is getting handled. My wife and I watch every season and state we can find.
