  • Becoming a Texas Game Warden
    Zack Stevenson's mom didn't know the first thing about hunting, until she enrolled her son in Texas Parks and Wildlife's Youth Hunting programs. Little did she know, Zack's hunting experiences would lead to the game warden cadet school and a career in the outdoors.

    I wonder if they say what spot you'll be serving in , or if you get to pick your own. If I had my choice, it probably would be Polk County (Livingston).

    What is the difference between a game warden and a park ranger?

    • @gladentertainment2018
      @gladentertainment2018 Před 3 lety +4

      Park rangers work at a specific park usually and are mostly there to protect the Forest and park. Game warden focuses more on actual animal laws and wildlife hunting laws

      Game Wardens are essentially State Troopers that focus on hunting and fishing related crimes.

    really interested in this, though I've read and heard that it's extremely competitive to even get an interview. Im currently in my second year of college...
    I've read the applications, i've smoked pot two times when I was a junior in high school so I already feel hopeless thinking that that already ruined my chance lol
