"In fact, there was much resentment against these laws and early wardens literally put their head on the line. A grim detail is the first two game wardens put on the job were shot to death within several years of being appointed. That was before 1900."

Good read thank you for the post.

It is a little disheartening it was so long ago, and game wardens are still regarded with disdain today. Without them we would not have a healthy fishery.
