Season 1

A team of wardens take to the skies to coordinate an air-to-ground assault on nocturnal poachers, while another team tracks down a serial poacher who kills fawns. A special operations unit spends Halloween capturing a deer poacher theyve been surveilling for weeks, and wardens Boyd and Karnow meticulously track down a meth addict who uses a bow and arrow to endanger more than one species.

After getting a tip-off, John Nores and the Marijuana Eradication Team scout a grow site. A few hundred miles north, Mike Beals patrols the Oroville Wildlife Area, a county park known for rampant drug activities. He encounters drugs, trespassers and a stolen vehicle. Meanwhile, two squads race to capture dangerous hunters feeding their methamphetamine addictions by poaching deer.

With hundreds of square miles to patrol in one of the largest states in the country, wardens take to Monterey Bay for the opening of sport rockfish season and track down a poacher deep in Feather Falls. A squad investigates a sea lion thats been shot in the face, while other wardens patrol a river in the Oroville Wildlife Area and investigate suspected poaching in the Mendocino National Forest.

To help protect native species, wardens man an abalone checkpoint on the northern coast of California. With the black market value at roughly one hundred dollars each, wardens have their hands full stemming the tide of poachers. While wardens face off against a shark being illegally kept in a pet shop, a rookie assigned to the Los Angeles beat snares lobster poachers in Redondo. And later, wardens work together to bust a black market piranha operation.
