Montana wardens are on the look out for an offender on opening day when a few shed hunters are willing to break the law for sheds of large antlers.

In Montana, wardens use everything from a deer decoy to a K-9 to make sure hunters are following the rules.

During opening week, COs and brothers Bill and Shane Webster patrol the state using different strategies. Bill takes to the air to look for illegal bait piles while Shane works the web to track down offenders.

The opening week of firearm deer season is one the year's busiest. Officers in Districts 3 and 6 tackle road hunting issues in rural Michigan.

Officers in both the lower and upper peninsula of Michigan work to stop hunters from baiting for bear too early.

Warden Bryan Golie investigates a call of shots fired on private property during the big game season and is in for a long night.

A ten officer patrol works the Walleye Opener weekend making sure everyone is safe and obeying the law in District Six.

All across Michigan officers spend the 16 days of the firearm deer season responding to all manner of calls from trespassing to poaching.

Hunters have their downed elk attacked by a grizzly bear and Warden Koeppen investigates a separate dead elk, left in a field.

There are two distinct elk seasons in Michigan, one in August and one in December. Patrolling those two seasons couldn't be more different for the officers in District 3.

C.O.s in Michigan sometimes rely on aerial surveillance to crack down on illegal baiting during the firearm whitetail season.

Game Warden John Lesofski starts his day before sunrise and doesn't wrap up until well past sunset.
