The beginning of my career as a game warden provided many stories. Good. Bad. Funny. And sometimes sad.
Among the lessons learned was “never say never.” And I’m guessing from his story for the North Dakota Game and Fish Department’s Behind the Badge, Shawn Sperling, North Dakota Game and Fish Department district game warden, can relate. Here’s his story.
