Wayne has a fantastic personality and way about him. Great storytelling, emotionally astute, humble and impressive.

The Warden Watch podcast is a must-listen for anyone interested in conservation law enforcement, wildlife protection, and the real-world experiences of game wardens. Lt. Wayne Saunders is the kind of game warden every officer should have the opportunity to meet and learn from. His passion for the profession, along with the dignity and respect he shows to everyone he encounters, is truly second to none. It’s clear in every episode that he carries a deep sense of duty—not only to the public, but to protecting those who cannot speak for themselves: our wildlife and natural resources. The podcasts are educational, informative, and clearly come straight from the heart. Lt. Saunders does an excellent job sharing stories, lessons, and perspectives that highlight the importance of conservation and the unique role game wardens play in protecting our natural world. After listening to just a few episodes, you’ll be hooked—no pun intended. Keep up the great work, Lt. Saunders. — A brother warden from Connecticut

Awesome listen for DIY Green-liners and offficers alike. I love to hear what is going on in the conservation community, and what issues we are facing. Getting ready to go for my second time of tryouts for state Wildlife Officer. This keeps me focused and dedicated to why we do this job. Love yall from Arkansas.

For a truck that drives around advertising their cute little show, you’d think they’d at least stop at stop sign, but no. With children in the car, they right through it. We should warden watch their driving. Think twice before you decide to drive like a baboon. I imagine there are much better true crime podcasts out there who actually respect the rules of the road.

With 23 years on, beginning my 24th year tomorrow, I hadn’t gotten into listening to podcasts. One of the guys I supervise, always talks about listening to podcasts. I still resisted. Another GW shared a Bear Grease podcast about caviar poaching in Oklahoma. Knowing all of the GWs involved in the stories, I took interest and decided to listen. Well… several weeks later I’m hooked… I can’t speak highly enough of Warden’s Watch! I’m still working my way through all of the episodes, but I haven’t listened to one that I didn’t enjoy and or learn from! I’ve laughed and cried listening to others tell OUR stories! There’s no other job like what we do! I’m a proud second generation Oklahoma Game Warden and cannot speak to the gratitude I have for this podcast! Telling OUR stories will hopefully reinvigorate the recruiting and PASSION for this way of life! God Bless and keep it going!

This podcast is amazing!! Wayne gives all kinds of information!! When he interviews other game wardens is so cool!!!

Absolutely the best podcast out there. Wish there was more wardens on more often telling stories of different cases! Excited everytime I see yall dropped another pod!

This is a great podcast, I love hearing the stories and experiences from other game wardens around North America. Anytime another warden tells a story there is something to be learned and taken away. Kudos Wayne! This show is a great service to those working in the small and niche world of conservation law enforcement!

Just a dude, interviewing some dudes, who might arrest some dudes. Ask and you shall receive.

I am originally from New England, Massachusetts in particular and I work as a Game Warden in the South. I love hearing the stories that remind back home. It’s intriguing to hear the experiences of Game Wardens throughout the country and I listened to this podcast throughout my time in the academy. I’d recommend it to the other recruits in my class and I was pleasantly surprised to find out they have listened to it as well! I recommend this podcast to any new person who tells me they want to be a “cowboy in the woods”! Keep up the great work Wayne and John!

Loved the Podcast with retired USFWS agent Roy Brown. We traveled some of the same roads at different times in our careers. Really enjoyed listening to the stories. Thanks Roy and Wayne for your service.

As a future Texas game warden it’s awesome to here unfiltered front line stories. I really appreciate what yall do and can’t wait to keep listening. Thank you!

I started a couple of weeks and have listen to the first 37 episodes and looking forward to hearing to hear from the Texas Game Wardens where I am from.

With no new episodes of North Woods Law, this is the perfect way to get your fill!

I feel like I’m sitting in the passenger seat of the cruiser!

One my favorite podcasts

I’m a K9 Handler in Idaho and I’ve really enjoyed Susan Swems episode as well as John talking about his experiences. Wish I had made the jump to Fish and Game here but didn’t fulfil the education requirement. I’ve loved working with the Conservation Officers in our area. People hate on their profession but without them we wouldn’t have accountability in the outdoors. My father was actually on one of the first few episodes and I heard some stories of his for the first time so thank you! H Gregory

Wayne and John do an excellent job bringing a diverse group of individuals together that share the same passion of conserving and protecting our natural resources. The podcast feels more like old friends sharing stories around a camp fire rather than an interview. As an aspiring Conservation Police Officer here in Virginia, I surely appreciate the work that goes into bringing these stories, experiences, and lessons learned to a platform available to everyone. Wayne, I am currently a Hunter Ed Instructor here in Virginia and would love to connect you with a Virginia CPO for your podcast. Keep up the good work!

Ive been listening to Wardens Watch since 2019. I am currently in my freshman year of college to be a Game Warden. I am from New Mexico, and honestly I would really appreciate if you guys interviewed a Warden from New Mexico. Thank you Wayne for giving me different lenses of the job, it only makes me more excited for the future.

I have never written a review for anything, but after feeling guilty about not writing one LAST WEEK when Wayne didn’t get any new reviews and then subsequently FORGETTING TO WRITE ONE, I just had to do one this week. I’m an Army Conservation LEO and absolutely love listening to this podcast while I'm patrolling, it helps me learn so much and inspires me to be better every day I go out. I get excited every week that I see a new episode pop up. This podcast introduced me to NAWEOA, IGW Magazine, and the Joe Pickett series (my current audiobook obsession when there’s no new WW episodes). Thanks for the great work guys love the podcast!!!!!!

This is the greatest podcast I have listened to!! I have listened to every single one and am always waiting for the next one! I was looking for something to replace my Northwoods Law and I found it. Such amazing stories. I just can’t get enough! Wayne you do an amazing job!

I’m trying to catch up with all the podcasts, ugh… 100 + episodes takes awhile. Continue flying the flag and spreading the word. Your podcasts are informative, educational and entertaining. In your free time, keep an eye on the “Sullivan kids”.

Sarah and and I have listened to every episode, some twice…. We attend many outdoor shows, fund raisers and outdoor type events. Wayne seems to always be there, working his butt off, or his son, actually…….My Grandchildren love your book, it’s a great way to introduce you children to the outdoors & conservation. My sons listen as well, and I have turned on many outdoors enthusiast to this great venue…..pass the word….

I enjoy your pod cast however I disagree with baiting hunters. Keep it up. I also think you guys have done a great job protecting the environment in Ca with all the pot growers not respecting our land and water

Wayne is a great speaker, his passion for Conservation in our great State of NH is apparent and so welcome. Thank you Wayne, I enjoy listening to the Podcasts. Keep up the good work!!

A great continuum for those wanting more about our beloved NH COs and beyond! Agree with others that the TGL is not a favorite, but the Wardens Watch episodes are a must listen! Wayne is a natural at interviewing, and keeps the content fresh with a variety of guests.

Loved the podcast right up until Wayne introduced John Nores and The Thin Green Line episodes as part of his programming. I feel like it takes something away from the origins of the what the podcast was supposed to be about. Episode TGL002 for example talks about COVID and prepping for emergencies which has nothing to do with the Game Warden theme. I was going to give a 5 star review but now with the introduction of TGL it’s a 3 star review. The Thin Green Line should be a completely separate podcast in my opinion and not integrated with Wardens Watch.

Awesome podcast

As a wildlife officer it’s the #1 podcast I listen to on patrol. It’s just fun

I look forward to this podcast I have listened to the Colebrook murders podcast 3 times, thank you and the officers for “going in” when others won’t. Amazing bravery that can’t be taught. Every young law enforcement/ game warden person should listen to this.

I grew up in south central NH, I camped and hiked when I could walk until I chose school activities over anything outdoors. I grew up at a lake house on the border of NH and Maine, so the outdoors life has always been a factor. I run a chapter for a non-profit that seeks to preserve water body’s integrity against invasive species, and part of that job requires educating anglers and locals. I am podcastrt of my lake association as a board member and take pride in protecting the resources that this gorgeous water body has provided us with. I am an AVID hiker, I’d rather hike than do anything else and 90% of my days revolve around planning and reflecting on my hikes. This podcast is the culmination of my childhood, my life now, and my life in the future. I love to research, so I thought I knew a lot about conservation efforts, but this podcast has just taught me way more than I ever thought I’d learn. Saunders and Norris have a fantastic dynamic and have scheduled absolutely stunning guests that only add value to the education and awareness aspect of their podcast. As a conservative, I appreciate their and their guests’ candidness about conservation at the grass roots level all the way up to the bureaucratic level (e.g. Christina Bobb who is by far my favorite guest to date). 100% recommend listening to this podcast, because there is always more to learn about conservation.

This podcast is absolutely awesome, it’s informational, exciting, and makes you want to go out and become a game warden! He does a great job making you feel like you’re in the truck or on the snowmobile/ foot chase, etc each story they tell!!! Love it keep it up!

Thanks for your years of service. What a great way to promote the Fish and Game Dept. We get to here these stories from our own back yard. Great show thanks for doing it.

These stories are captivating. Great to hear stories of true heroes!

I just can’t stop listening to this amazing podcast. Excited to hear more stories from the incredible wardens from all over the country!

Love listening to all the stories and search and rescue missions on Kate. The Whites are unforgiving. If you’re an outdoor person at all, there is something that will intrigue you.

Thanks for the insight.

Great and hilarious, love the stories.

I like it! Great podcast my friend!

Just found this recently and I love it. I love the 3 game warden shows on discovery + and this scratches the itch while I’m at work.

I love listening to Warden’s Watch Podcasts. Very informative. The 3 part episodes about hiker Kate Matrosova is a must. I listen to all three back to back.

I am a massive fan of “North Woods Law” and I am going through all the episodes with interviews with the NH Fish and Game guys and will go back and listen to the others. Wayne and his interviewees are amazing story tellers and I am always disappointed when the episodes are over! Can’t recommend this enough.

Simply one of the best podcasts for any outdoorsy person, and as an aspiring Vermont Game Warden, It’s entertaining and helpful! Wayne and john are great speakers, could not ask for better hosts!

Enjoying this podcast cast as someone who has spent so much time in the NH woods

Love the setup and style of each episode. Wayne has a great podcasting voice and uses his skills as an interviewer to create engaging and informative talks with each guest.

If you haven’t read the book Where You’ll Find me you should. Wayne is then adding to the book with a series of interviews about the book. Great idea!

Just love the variety of stories Wayne shares from all over the US. They are educational and give a good idea of what it’s like to be a game warden or conservation officer.

A series of great interviews with entertaining guests covering a wide variety of outdoor topics. Nice job Wayne!

Retired Game Warden Wayne Saunders does an excellent job talking about wildlife experiences through the eyes of a Warden. His interviews with other Game Wardens throughout the state and country are both interesting and well done. He keeps his listeners interested throughout his whole podcast. I can’t stop listening and always excited when I see a new episode come out. I would strongly recommend this to anyone interested in law enforcement or wildlife.

I have had every intention of listening to the Warden’s Watch, however just have not taken the time to do so. I am sorry it took me so long to listen to the podcast. Great speaker with much to share with us. Thank you Wayne and thank you to your guest speakers for doing this.
