Although much research has been carried out on traditional police officers, little has been directed toward the study of game wardens or conservation law enforcement officers. The main responsibility of game wardens is the enforcement of wildlife laws. This research took a qualitative approach to data collection and examined job satisfaction of state game wardens in Montana. Data were obtained on the extent to which game wardens found the job satisfying, what were considered the best and worst parts of the job, if game wardens would choose the occupation again and stress of the job. The findings contribute to our understanding of the game warden occupation.
