He was one of my pronghorn antelope guides in Douglas WY. Super nice man. He was helping a family friend for a couple weeks guide along with another one of his friends. Had great stories to tell
Trapping will teach you so much about the ways of wildlife that cross over to all game species.
Very interesting man. The fact he holds no animosity is truly commendable.
That story about the commercial fisherman had to take place at breakfast at the pelehatchie bay trading post!!!!!
Yeah I knew several undercover game wardens that infiltrated big hunting operation killing deer in South Texas it was crazy to hear their stories how they infiltrated and made friends and hooked up with these guys over a year
You mean this “Christian” made a living lying and collecting intel for an authoritarian government while claiming to serve the God of forgiveness and freedom?
Thank you Matt and Kenny. This was a really good session-fascinating!👍
Extremely enjoyed your interview with Mr.Prince excellent job Mr.Wyatt!! Will be purchasing book asap !! God bless!🙏
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Love this yall as NWCO in the state of Louisiana it's good to see this type information. Keep up the good work
I was raised on the pearl river down here in Se Louisiana from the town of pearl river. Great stories
Pretty entertaining. Thanks for the video!
Very interesting! Great guy
Great video and wonderful stories
Iv listened to this book and loved it.
If all law enforcement people had this man’s ethics and humanity there would be much less trouble.
What a good man!
Basically he was a poacher that became a game warden!
I awill have to check out his book!!! You should have an interview with Scott Werbelow, a game warden in Meeteetse WY. He has started a boook series. Som ot a Poacher. Worthh the read!!¡!¡!
Just bought the book
Sign me up for a copy. Haven't hunted in years but, know that I've broken or, at least bent a few rules in my youth. Have always admired game wardens more than any other law enforcement agencies because they are constantly dealing with armed people. Also, the most professional and courteous officers.
My son-in-law bought me a book written by the local game warden from when I was a much younger man. As I'm reading it, I found out that I made his memoirs. He caught me spearing northern pike. This was over 40 years ago, If memory serves me correctly, I paid a fine of 185 dollars. And lost the fish, and spear. Pretty expensive fish fry.
@@dalemitchell2006there’s so many rules to keep up with though, up here in Pa it’s ridiculous. Since it’s already documented I ran into a warden like him, bushcraft is illegal in most of Pa but I had gotten kicked out and built myself a cabin and nice little camp. It was taken to court and he testified that it was survival and that I built a better camp than anyone in the 30yrs he was working at the age of 24. 8 years later I have a contract with the state to trap nuisance wildlife because of his blessing.
@@Leprechaun-qv6mo you need to proofread your comments. Some of it doesn’t make any sense.
@@alan30189 or just learn how to read.
Been hunting since 19, been going with my old man since 7, always follow the regulations because his wise word to me was, pay the licenses fee, or rather loose 10x that amount and get ban from ever hunting and fishing again.
30 now and I can't wait to go back out every year
I respect him becoming friends, it doesn’t work that way up here in Washington state, you get caught poaching and you are labeled a pos!
I hunt the Pearl. Have my whole life
This guy gets it .. its just a job .. i see he is a Christian first and a game warden 2nd .. thats respectful .
LOL I get what you said. And understand. But a Christian fist is funny! No disrespect it was a typo that turned funny to me is all. Hey when I typo it is not funny. lol
But without typo and real comment...Yes I agree with you!
@@rabbithomesteading3797 i dont see a typo .. when you put God first everything else seems to fall into place .. he confronted ppl with love and respect thats why they respected him .
@@glennramsey917 You wrote fist not first.
@@saddletramp1860 lol i looked ofer that id bet a dozen times .. my bad .. im gonna fix it now .. thanks my friend . Lol
The bad guys that find Jesus become the good guys
Link for book?
Great interview and I sure can relate and have a lot of law enforcement buddies,
Tell mr jeff hicks i said hello. From Arkansas. Hell know who i am. Thanks for what you guys do.
🤦♂️🤦♂️
“Hey Jeff, @jason6325 said Hello”..
“Ohhh Yes I sure do Know @jason6325 & his brothers @jason6326 & @jason6327”!!!!
Long branch salon
Kenny’s dad was the salt of the earth man and would give you the shirt off his back and little kenny got it honest. Spent a lot of time at their place past the old adkins taxidermy fork on 471!!!!
All the old River Rats have passed away around here. Being a game warden is boring now. Folks are to fat and lazy to illegal fish and hunt!
I'll be a river rat til the day I die
I stopped fishing because of Game Wardens.
A game warden is nothing to worry about if you're legal. Im assuming you weren't so , good decision
Quitter...
Sounds like he was a good poacher turned warden lol
Outlaws make the best Lawmen. Now it's just vaxxed out boot lickers. Criminals commit crimes and get caught. Outlaws don't get caught.
I don't think poachers have nightmares until after there in prison.
If you pay for a fishing license… take legal limits. Why the heck can’t I sell it if I choose to……
I guess FDA crap like that, we know it's healthier than slaughter house meat
If you found an antelope shed, can I have it because we will be multi millionaires
I thought the same thing but looked it up and Pronghorn is the exception on shedding horns. Never knew but don’t see many on the east coast lol.
@@bryanwalker1994 look again
It's nice to see people still know how to use Google @@bryanwalker1994
BJ Johnson
yup
workin on being a saint
I hope the dove stories are in that book where he would hide under the trucks till the hunt was over. Kenny would get his man or damn near die trying. If he got paid by trh hour he would be a billionaire
Uhhhhhhh auto weapons? Done
Made a career out of entrapment. Got it
entrapment MEANS you dont know what you are getting into ....
CLEARLY - U KNOW 😮
@@murrismiller2312 im pretty sure the guys he was running drugs with didnt know he was a warden- entrapment
Entrapment-- Means the law got u to do something u normally don’t do, like if it was not for them u would not be doing it, there is no entrapment law in ms, if there was they would not have caught hardly anyone,
So basically entrapment!!, them seeing money exchanged they prob just thought heck I can take a deer and make some also! So they did! Sounds alot like entrapment to me ! 🤦 🤦🏿♂️ 🤦♀️ now had they not sold the dope it would have been petty of the law ! But when they decided to sale dope or do dope we have a problem! You got lucky sir if had a few choice words
Can’t stand them uncover is a crime to me in Florida these guys have to much authority the regulations are so bad. You have to have a book with you everywhere you go sick of them.
It’s RAWLINS, not RawlINGS
This will probably not be very popular .
But who is the state of government to tell a man what his God given rights are to hunt or to fish ?
By what authority ? Hint . A American State National doent even have to talk with a game warden . We are above such insulting notions .
I turned a guy I had a guy setting in my tree stand I a piece of private land I hunted for 17+ years and it just happened the guy had worked for the land owners son and he gotten permission from the son to hunt the place well. The guy had a rifle no orange in now season. I seen his truck and asked the land owner he said no one was as allowed to hunt but me and said it might be his sons truck and I didn’t think anymore of it well me and my wife go hunting and walk in and here sets the guy in my stand with a gun and I’m really good with my local warden and so is my wife and his wife well she sends a picture to to his wife and I get a first name from the guy and we leave and he packs up and leaves also lol well before I can call him he calls me and I give him all the info and everything I had and plate number well the guy loses his gun atv and all kinda stuff and he has shot idk how many big bucks and stuff and that’s why he got in so much trouble well couple weeks go by and I get a call from the son he is pissed saying why did I turn him in and I had no right to use the law to handle him that I should have came to him blah blah blah guy acts like he wants to fight and stuff well I lost the land to hunt in the end the land owner passed away weeks later and the son got the place but fit rubbed me wrong and I told him if I was a butt I could turn him I. For allowing the guy to poach and hunt illegally and I could but didn’t and the guy was charged and I think still poaching cause last hour he shot a buck that’s now in the records book in bow season and I’d say it was with a rifle from the looks of the hole. But I hate poachers
It’s extremely hard to read when you don’t use punctuation.
@@danielstrother2494it's really not you're just nit picky looking for something to complain about I read it and understood what he said just fine
It's your God-given right to have camp meat if the Law treated illegals like this it wouldn't be popular, I can't go along with him or his methods.
Stop with the whole “being a conservation officer is dangerous”. It’s not. It’s much safer than being a carpenter or even a carpet layer. Its actually an extremely safe job.
I was friends with several game wardens up north. I can't stand poachers. Helped catch a number of them. As well I was a rep for "Hunters for the Hungry". I helped catch a butcher shop selling the venison folks donated to the needy he had been selling for $7+ a #. I guess if you're a bandit you wouldn't like them. The laws are there so everyone gets to participate. If ya let the outlaws run lose there'd be no fish or game for others. I'm adding this read to my collection for sure! 🦌🐗🐻🫎🦃👍🏻💯🇺🇸
