Animal Planet’s Wardens of the North gears up for Michigan’s firearm deer season in its new episode, “A Fair Chase,” airing Sunday, June 29, at 9:00 PM ET. This program brings viewers into the field with Michigan’s conservation officers, showing their efforts to ensure a fair and legal hunt across the state during their busiest patrol period.
The firearm deer season creates a surge of activity for the wardens, who work to uphold hunting regulations and protect wildlife. The episode focuses on the days leading up to the season opener, when officers are on the lookout for illegal deer shining—a tactic used by some to illicitly hunt deer at night. This effort helps to ensure the integrity of the season.
The show gives a clear look at the daily duties and skills these officers use to safeguard Michigan’s natural resources. Viewers will see how they deal with rule-breakers and those who try to circumvent the law.
“A Fair Chase” centers on the officers’ dedication to maintaining order and ethics in the wild. It’s a steady account of law enforcement in a rugged outdoor setting, underscoring the importance of responsible hunting.
