I have seen a couple of the Maine episodes. I do feel sorry for the guys that have to work anything east of the Rockies. There are a ton of people back there and a lot seem to be real scissor bills.. Could be a heavy bias toward some of the colorful characters, as it's probably not interesting or good TV to view checks on normal law abiding citizens. Seems about 1/2 of their encounters don't even pack ID with them.
Do that many of us really go afield with no wallet and habitually leave our licenses and tags at home on the fridge? I hope for their sake that we're not viewing anything close to reality. If so, I'd not last a month in their shoes.
Our guys can go afield and maybe not see a person for a couple days. We do have way more square miles than people though.
Also, here in Oregon our wardens are actually well vetted and trained State Police, and they put out a monthly news letter that makes for some interesting reading.
