Things you might hear a game warden say at a high school career day presentation when asked what he or she likes most about being a game warden: “I like being a part of the community”; “I like making a difference”; or “For me, it’s all about conservation for future generations,” or if they’re trying to be funny, “I like being able to pee outside more than I do in.”
Maybe some of those statements are true for a few, but I know some dudes who, in private, would tell you that’s all a bunch of bunk. If you asked them to elaborate, they’d tell you that the thing they like most about being a game warden is the adrenaline rush they get by catching someone red-handed in the act of breaking the law.
Deer season offers lots of opportunities for game wardens motivated this way to get their fix. They spend many hours on “sets”, which are certain spots game wardens use to conceal themselves and watch problem areas.
