The reality television
show "Wild Justice," which features the work
of California's game wardens, has completed
shooting a second season and has been booked
for a third.
The program, featured on the National
Geographic Channel, will also be the subject
of a panel discussion Jan. 21 at the
International Sportsmen's Exposition, the
annual hunting and fishing trade show at Cal
Expo in Sacramento.
"Wild Justice" has been a strong commercial
success. It plunges viewers into the
dangerous and sometimes gory world of
California Department of Fish and Game
wardens as they pursue wildlife poachers. It
has also troubled some responsible sportsmen
who object that it paints hunters as
bloodthirsty scofflaws.

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. –
Lake County's team of game wardens has
increased over the course of this year,
which is leading to more enforcement on the
lake and the land.
In January, several new wardens joined the
local ranks after having finished the
California Department of Fish and Game
Academy last summer, according to Fish and
Game Lt. Loren Freeman.
That brings the number of local wardens to
six, he said.
“We're real excited about that,” Freeman
said.
Freeman said for about a year and a half
there were only three local wardens working
Lake and part of Mendocino County, with the
other three positions existing vacancies.
New hires at the start of the year from the
54th academy include Mark Michilizzi, John
Holley and Tim Little, according to Mike
Carion, Fish and Game Academy director and
assistant chief of Northern California.
Michilizzi is based in Middletown, Holley in
Clearlake and Little in Lucerne, said
Freeman.

Most outdoor-folk in
Silicon Valley simply think of Henry W. Coe
State Park in Morgan Hill as a beautiful
place to hike. Or that Llagas Creek, which
snakes through Santa Clara County, is a
special spot to fish for trout.
John Nores considers
them his battlefields.
Before he ventures out on a clandestine
operation, Nores suits up in camouflage,
even down to his dog leash, for his trusty
lab, Apollo. Then, he straps a Glock
.40-caliber semi-automatic pistol to his
waist. His M14 assault rifle and 12-gauge
Remington shotgun wait nearby in his green
Ford F-150 pickup.
That get-up is a far
cry from the typical image of a state
Department of Fish and Game warden. Then
again, the 43-year-old lieutenant is just as
likely to be on the lookout for a Mexican
cartel operating a pot farm above Saratoga
as he is for someone who doesn't have a
fishing license . . .

Written by Editor
Applications are now
being accepted for the Department of Fish
and Game (DFG) Warden Academy at Butte
College in Oroville.
The academy will begin in January 2013 and
is scheduled to end in September 2013.
The application deadline is Nov. 4, 2011.
An increase in the number of applications
received is expected as a result of the
first season of “Wild Justice,” a reality
show that premiered on the National
Geographic Channel in November 2010. The
popular show chronicles California game
wardens’ efforts to combat poachers and
polluters.
“‘Wild Justice’ has given many hopeful
candidates a clear picture of the intensive
law enforcement nature of a game warden,”
said DFG recruiter Lt. Jeff Longwell. “Game
wardens are charged with ensuring public
safety, investigating illegal sales of
wildlife and parts thereof, protecting the
state from pollution, enforcing habitat
protection laws, fighting illegal drug
trafficking, keeping the homeland secure and
responding during natural disasters.”
