About this episode
The episode explores Louisiana's culture and wildlife law enforcement through the stories of two wildlife agents.
On this episode of Warden’s Watch, we head deep into Louisiana with Captain Will Roberts and Sergeant Terry Hicks — two wildlife agents who bring the state’s culture, cases, and Cajun humor to life.
