Wardens come across some colourful characters when they set up a safety check along the river for boaters and rafters; the upcoming opening of the elk season leads to some hunters jumping the gun, with wardens chasing them down.

Wardens Golie and Logan investigate the curious case of a dead deer, a young hunter eyes the moose of his dreams, and Warden Kambic tries to keep the peace between several hunters when an elk is shot against regulations.
