Other duties include trapping, tagging and transplanting bears, alligators, mountain lions and other wildlife, enforcing state and federal laws, supervising managed hunts, making arrests and assisting local law enforcement in other duties such as man-hunts. Most Game Wardens operate on flexible schedules and there benefits are comparable to any other state employment job in law enforcement. Nearly all Game Wardens attend an academy or law enforcement training center before becoming a Game Warden.
