No Orange, No License: A Costly Lesson in Fair Chase | Wardens | Episode 7 - Season 4
In this high-action episode of Wardens, Montana’s law enforcement officers deploy lifelike decoys and follow up on some of the strangest tips of the season. In Region 5, Wardens Nick Taylor and Lee Burroughs set up a lifelike Elk Decoy sting outside of Billings to catch illegal road hunters. It doesn't take long for the gunfire to start, leading to multiple stops and citations for shooting from motorized vehicles and hunting without the mandatory hunter orange.
Over in Region 2, Warden Joe Camic investigates a disturbing report through the poaching hotline involving an out-of-state hunter who allegedly pours gasoline on other people's harvests and kills over the limit. Watch as Kamic and his team perform a detailed roadside check on a massive haul of five elk and three mule deer to ensure everything is on the up-and-up. The investigation leads the team deep into the hills to verify "bone piles" and gut piles to match hunter stories with physical evidence.
From managing chaotic "shootouts" to educating first-time hunters on property boundaries, see how Montana’s wardens protect the resource while ensuring everyone plays by the rules of the "Last Best Place."
