Of all law enforcement officers, game wardens inspire awe in the mind of the public. Working day and night in the most challenging terrain and weather imaginable, game wardens often operate alone in remote areas and must understand the natural rhythms and cycles of the creatures and ecosystems they protect, all while encountering and sometimes interacting with people who are often armed. Outdoors writer Jerald Horst spent one year riding on patrol with game wardens in the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. In riveting episodes, he chronicles his adventures, providing an up-close view of this incredibly demanding job and the fascinating band of men who take it on.
