In the state of Maine, the Game Warden Service patrols more than seven million hectares of rugged terrain filled with wild animals – and wild people.
Animal Planet’s NORTH WOODS LAW follows Maine’s game wardens as they navigate the rugged terrain during hunting season – one of the busiest and most perilous times of the year. Premiering Thursday, June 6 at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT, each episode – and each punch of the time clock – is a ticket to extreme danger and drama with undercover stings and intense rescues all in a day’s work. These “State Police of the Woods” truly never know what to expect from one moment to the next…
Whether they’re tracking bears on dangerous mountains or busting drunk drivers on ATVs, the wardens of NORTH WOODS LAW risk life and limb to protect animals and serve the people of Maine. In the inaugural season, the wardens cover deer, moose, and fowl hunting seasons – the busiest and most perilous times of the year.
Highlights from the first two episodes of NORTH WOODS LAW include:
