North Woods Law Season 15 Episode 7 Stubborn As A Moose

In season 15 episode 7 of North Woods Law, titled "Stubborn As A Moose," viewers follow the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (MDIFW) as they navigate through the challenges of protecting the state's natural resources.

The episode begins with the MDIFW investigating a report of a moose that has been hit by a car. Officer Mark Drouin, a wildlife biologist, is the first one on the scene. He assesses the animal's injuries and contacts his team to assist with the rescue.

Meanwhile, Sgt. Tim Spahr is patrolling the Allagash Wilderness Waterway in northern Maine. The Allagash is a popular spot for outdoor enthusiasts, but it can also be dangerous for those who do not take the necessary precautions. Sgt. Spahr responds to a call from a group of rafters who have lost their equipment and a member of their group. With limited resources and conditions that are beginning to deteriorate, Sgt. Spahr must act quickly to ensure the safety of everyone involved.

Back in southern Maine, Officer Josh Bubier is investigating a group of individuals who have been seen illegally harvesting softshell clams. These clams are vital to the local ecosystem and are protected under state law. Officer Bubier sets up a surveillance operation to catch the poachers in the act.

As the day wears on, Officer Drouin and his team are still working to save the injured moose. After several failed attempts to tranquilize the animal, they decide to use a net launcher to safely capture it. Once the moose is secured, they transport it to a nearby field where it can safely recover from its injuries.

Meanwhile, Sgt. Spahr has located the missing rafter and their equipment, but the situation is far from over. The group is stranded on a remote island, and the weather is becoming increasingly dangerous. With the help of a local guide, Sgt. Spahr devises a plan to safely transport everyone back to shore.

As Officer Bubier continues his surveillance operation, he spots the poachers in action. He calls for backup, and the group is caught in the act. Officer Bubier confiscates their equipment and issues them citations for illegal harvesting.

In the end, all parties involved in the day's events are safe, and the MDIFW has successfully protected their state's natural resources. "Stubborn As A Moose" highlights the challenges that the MDIFW faces on a daily basis and the dedication of their officers to ensure the well-being of both animals and humans alike.
