Summary

While we have spoken with numerous wildlife agencies and employees on the Hunt Backcountry Podcast over the years, those conversations have generally focused on game management, policy and regulations, and hunter opportunity. In this episode, we discuss wildlife law enforcement with Matt — an Exo customer and an employee of Arizona Game & Fish. Matt shares his insights on mistakes that hunters make, the rules they break, how enforcement officers operate in the field, and much more.

How do enforcement agents spend their time in the field and a whole lot more?
