The Biggest Deer I Ever Shot—Confiscated! | Wardens | Episode 10 - Season 4
In this high-stakes episode of Wardens, Montana’s conservation officers face unique challenges in the trophy-rich Sarpy Basin. In Region 5, Warden Nick Taylor responds to an urgent trespass call after a landowner catches a group of out-of-town hunters from Western Montana "losing it" in the wide-open breaks. What starts as a simple boundary mistake leads to the seizure of a hunter’s "biggest deer yet" and multiple citations for hunting without landowner permission on block management land.
The action moves to a harrowing wildlife rescue with Warden Lee Burroughs. A panicked hunter reports two mule deer bucks with their antlers hopelessly locked together during a fight. Witness the intense effort to free the exhausted animals and the difficult decision the warden must make when one buck is too far gone to recover.
From educating Texas hunters on "40-acre state patches" to investigating hidden deer in ranch sheds, see how Montana’s wardens balance empathy with the letter of the law to preserve "The Last Best Place."
