I have tought hunter education for 34 years and I appreciate seeing the wardens in the hills. They are always respectful and doing their job. I value them as a hunter
Brian is awesome. He treated the guy that was going to jail with respect. He didn’t put him down or anything. Most of the wardens I’ve meet are a lot like Brian.
A lot of respect to these wardens. They blow hard,and soft,in equal measure,laying down the law in a fair humane manner. This in turn will put the illegal hunters on notice,and also gain the support of the people they encounter. Hats off,keep up the great work.
I’m not a hunter,I can see where wardens showing up and checking hunts and camps would kinda piss people off..yet,it keeps everyone honest and accountable..most do the right thing,but you’ll always have that select few that’ll ruin it for others..
i love it when they show up. 1 making sure im not dead, 2 checking if everything is legal, 3 someone to talk to for a bit. i usually hunt alone even though iv been told its not safe.
some of the best tips i’ve gotten on game location was from wardens, be legal and they’ll be golden with you. they’re better detectives than actual detectives so they’re gonna figure it out anyway 🤷🏻♂️
They also have to go in front of a judge and that person can pull their license for poaching. The fine is just so that the Officers get kind of a bonus for doing their job. Like when you get a ticket from the cops in the city. The fine is for the cops but the judge is what really matters
@@bullcrap9409 there is some taken depending on case... problem is that the judges and prosecution often will take plea to lower court cost... and sometimes there is mob involved often Russian mob...
on vancouver island if you got caught poaching elk they could take your vehicle guns a hefty fine and probably lose your hunting license forever . it's wild down there no wonder you have such a problem
Problem I see at least in Oregon we have people from the Midwest work in Department of wildlife, who think the whitetails are here in Oregon... So they allow over hunting. There's not too many hunters, there are too many poachers too many wolves, too many cougars and way too many damn bureaucrats!
I grew up on a rural mountain farm in SW Virginia. No one ever had a fishing or hunting license unless they had no land and hunted state land. Land owners did not welcome county game warden on there property and policed there own property.
My question is are these guys acting like this cuz they're on TV or are they like this all the time cuz these are some of the better officers I've seen in a long time. Guess they just a different breed but hat treats you like you somebody till you give him calls to treat you otherwise Way to go men
As a RMEF member this really pi$$es me off when other member's knowingly allow other hunters to take illegal game. Here in WA state its almost impossible to get an Elk. The state will happily issue you a very expensive tag, but because of nonsense like this, you can't really hunt anywhere. Plus out of state landowners buy up good Elk property and refuse to let hunters take game. Also too many cities allow feeding of Deer, the Deer are no longer up in the foothills to hunt. I'm glad Montana fines individuals for feeding wild game. I haven't bought a Deer or Elk tag since 2018 because of the inability to hunt good areas due to wildlife living in the cities and the DNR consistently blocks off good hunting grounds with their damned gates which you must pay 250 dollars for a key that's only good for 1 year. One of these year's I will travel to Montana where hunting is still looked upon as natural.
@@pnwRC. Whatcom County. I grew up in Packwood but guess what? All the Elk live within the no shooting zone and have been since 2002. Kapowsin is cool but I've not had any luck there.
Out of all the people on that mountain the old man was legit👍 Isn’t there a program to feed the deer the correct diet he could join without making them pets 🤔 I hope his legacy will live on🙏😎
@@goo05010 kinda like people who show up late and pitch a tent on someone elses gear ,then go out late and ruin the hunt for those that actually prepare and show up early...sound familiar
The difference between the hunting culture from the west to the midwest is shocking ! I would love to go out and experience ya'lls camps and use of pack animals . Not that I don't love jumping in the truck in the dark and head to my favorite patchwoods or swamp in the AM 😂
@SilverGrizzly I wouldn't let it stop me for the experience. I know they are night and day difference,but I've had big black bear come in our camp more than once up in the U.P. and they don't rattle my chain .
I think it’s part because being an outfitter takes license and experience. To many people “pack your gear” and offer hunting advice. Also, in some places they have the license
LOL they literally have observation towers, surveillance balloons, and drones at the border. There are far more US border patrol agents than game wardens too.
The difference between some legal, but gruff people who just want to be left alone, innocent larch ball hunters, F&W doin their job and the variety of outdoors people engaged in illegal activity is somewhat obvious, a little bemusing, eye opening and revelatory of human nature. On the other hand it's a little blood chilling to think about the minute differences that may or may not clue a ranger in to when he's dealing with someone who could be a little desperate, deranged or a stone cold killer. There are a few bad apples among the F & W, and game wardens, but my hats off to all the good officers and state workers making it work for jq public. Cheers! Ps, I'm a little surprised they don't have a portable card reader to pay fines in the field (where/when they can get a signal).
5:00, what a shake down. But I guess thats how it goes because poachers a ruining the back country. Large camps looks like over 17 day setup those are bad like they move in.
I'm not American but Montana has very lenient laws apparently so the repercussions aren't as big. A lot of people blame it because it's a Blue State so of course it's gonna be different.
I have the upmost respect for almost all FWP wardens however Bryan Golie is not one of them. Bryan is confused as to what part of law enforcement he is in. On several occasions Bryan has strayed into trying to interpret Montana Fish and Game Statues in the field. Bryan’s responsibility is to enforce the statutes as written period. It is a judges job to interpret whether Bryan has lawfully applied the statute. On another note FWP and the state of Montana allow the big ranches owned by rich out of staters and big name outfitters to steal big game from hard working Montana hunting families. Forget wolves the real predators in Montana are real estate brokers who are selling out Montanans left and right and the outfitters who Help out of staters steal Montana’s big game. Of course the fwp and the state don’t have any trouble taking thier blood money.
Never talk to wardens..... they are always lookin to give tickets. A casse that's is unzipped by 1 to 2 inches or a part of a license left in in the truck does not make a poacher. It's for state revenue. One liberal state will take the offender to jail if they don't have the means of payment on their person.
Outfitters are a joke. I’ve never met a more entitled thinking group of hunters in my life. Heck, I’m some states they’re guaranteed tags. Aren’t too many jobs that have guaranteed work.
All these questions are incriminating. Do not talk to cops. They are investigating you and me each time you talk to them. Give them the hunting license and then thats it. You dont have to say anything else.
I dont hunt but if ur gonna tag scam why not just tag ur small deer then if u get a bigger one switch the tag to that the wardens seem to take it off n back on easy
tags are supposed to be physically notched upon harvest before transporting the animal anywhere. If you don't notch it they will fine you if they check you. If someone kept hunting and swapped a notched tag say 3-5 days later you could tell when the animal is killed and they would fine you
Stolen? 😂 The guy poached an animal but yet they should just walk free? I bet you're the first to cry about bad cops when you get a ticket but call them when an acorn hits the top of your roof and you unload a mag into another house
he is saying deer can't see orange, the reason we wear it is, so we don't have a fist sized hole coming out of our lungs. So, in conclusion, you wear camo to blend in because the deer know the land because it's their home, and you wear orange (which deer can't see) to save yourself from other hunters. But to confuse you more, when turkey hunting (here in Florida) it is not mandatory to wear blazer orange because the turkey have a keener eye and can see the color orange.@@vhwft
@@jacobcyr8432 so again , if the deer can’t see orange, what’s the point in wearing camo to blend in. You could just wear a full orange jumpsuit and it would be the same. Isn’t positioning more important then the outfit, seems more people need to learn how scents work more then try to hide in camo.
@@vhwft scent is a big part of blending in yes. And you can were full orange, but you’d get a few funny names thrown at you. But again those deer can walk those woods in their sleep that’s how much they know it. Camo would help blend in with surroundings, trees, bushes…etc. if you were to wear just complete orange even though they can’t see the color they’ll see just one shade and will know something is up. And with the scent if you’re high enough in your stand it’ll carry over.
31:36 the creepy as song they put when two old guys are being real nice to each other. Compared to the heroic songs they play when a cop doesn't issue a dui to a drunk driver. What planet is this production crew from? Is this a white people ftom Montana perspective thing? Guys the music only works if it matches the situation. Yes I know about film production, I've won an award before 1st place
No what you just displayed on your wardens show was how wardens exploit and bribe exploit hunters in the Backwoods IE that is exploitation for a bribe who has a check or how much money do you have in your pocket they're looking to be bought off
long gun can be both rifle and shotguns. Name comes from having a long barrel. Which shotguns and rifles both can have, which on the other hand both can have "pistol" length barrels.
The old guy feeding the deer couldn’t even lie 😂 dudes got a heart of gold.
Giving the kind hearted old man a little bit of a break was sweet.
The show is so effing addictive!

135 dollars at risk to shoot a giant muley doesn’t sound all that discouraging. Should be waaay higher of a fine for that stunt they pulled
They also have to go in front of a judge and that person can pull their license for poaching.
The fine is just so that the Officers get kind of a bonus for doing their job. Like when you get a ticket from the cops in the city. The fine is for the cops but the judge is what really matters
Yep. Should be confiscating gear and trucks.
When you invest 10's of thousands of dollars into a hunt.... need stiffer punishment
@@bullcrap9409 there is some taken depending on case... problem is that the judges and prosecution often will take plea to lower court cost... and sometimes there is mob involved often Russian mob...
A lot of these guys see a judge and the judge makes them pay restitution plus the fine.
Best. Show. On. TV.
Thanks for putting it on YT.
Cant wait for deer season in Sept
Those busch light boxes bring back memories
does anyone think $135 dollars for a poached animal seem a little low?
Yes. Put the price up. These are valuable animals important to ecology
Yes. In Missouri it’s damn near 5000-2000 for a white tail poached
on vancouver island if you got caught poaching elk they could take your vehicle guns a hefty fine and probably lose your hunting license forever . it's wild down there no wonder you have such a problem

Game Wardens are the Greatest People there is. Thank you for all you do, Especially for the Game.❤
Good job with the old guy feeding the deer
I've never hunted or fished illegally. Saying that in 30 years, I've never been asked for license but...I will always buy them.
I grew up on a rural mountain farm in SW Virginia. No one ever had a fishing or hunting license unless they had no land and hunted state land. Land owners did not welcome county game warden on there property and policed there own property.
Hunting used to be good here in Montana 2030 years ago it's pretty rough nowadays
7k feet. Those Rangers are in great shape. Its dangerous tjough. Statistically more dangerous than being a regular Officer.
Good job wardens glad you keep your cool when possible
Love this show,,,,Montana is the last best place....this is better than the Yellowstone movie...
weirdly enough the only times I've ever talk with game wardens in Canada were not during any hunting season and my uncle was one for 20+ years 😅
People always get mad at the wardens like its their fault their not following regulations.
Good work Wardens ! Love this show, look forward to watch it. Every Friday during supper.
Wow,awesome curtios kind and got the job done
Warden Brian is the absolute best one in this series!
What a shakedown. “Who’s got a checkbook, who’s got money”
Poachers are Thieves!
Larch is not the only conifer that turns gold and sheds its needles.. Tamarack does as well...
whoops never mind... Larch is another name for Tamarack which we have in New England...

Hey game warden , I love ur guys show ! I get excited when u guys drop another new video :) please keep them coming!!!
