New Hampshire Game Wardens - Overcoming Tribulation

Send us Fan Mail

For our final episode of 2022, join us as we talk with retired New Hampshire Fish & Game Lieutenant, Wayne Saunders and Major Jim Juneau. Together, they have over 45 years of service in the name of conservation. Their paths first crossed before Jim was even sworn in and Wayne was facing what could arguably be his worst day in law enforcement. In 1997, after the suspect had already killed four people, including two state troopers and a local judge, Wayne took pursuit across state lines in what would eventually land him in the hospital.

After 23 years and moving through the ranks as an officer, sergeant, lieutenant, and the president of the Conservation Officer Relief Association, Wayne decided to retire to enjoy time with family. That wasn't the end of his career though as he now hosts the podcast Wardens Watch and shares the stories of other conservation officers across the country.

Jim retired after 22 years as the Assistant Chief of Law Enforcement and served in many different roles as he made his way through his career. Some of those notable positions were on the Dive Team, Advanced Search and Rescue, and also an instructor for the Defense Tactics. After some time off to enjoy retirement, Jim has gone back to work for the state, but gives most of his time to HHO and helping with Trout Unlimited.

HHO is proud to serve alongside those who preserve our greatest asset through conservation and ensuring those we serve will always have a place to turn to in the outdoors.
