In North Woods Law season 7 episode 7 titled "Baiters Beware," viewers are taken on a thrilling ride through the wilderness of Maine as Conservation Officers work to ensure the safety of both wildlife and humans alike. With baiting season in full swing, officers are on high alert for illegal activity, particularly near roads and highways where bait can be easily accessed by unsuspecting animals.
The episode follows several officers as they investigate complaints of illegal baiting, searching for evidence and setting up decoys to catch potential violators. In one instance, Officer Canfield sets up a decoy bear in an area known for baiting activity and waits patiently for nightfall. As expected, a group of hunters approach the area and begin to bait, but they quickly become suspicious of the decoy and flee the scene when Officer Canfield emerges from the darkness.
Meanwhile, Officer Holmes receives a tip about a possible baiting operation in a residential area. Upon arriving at the scene, she discovers dozens of bait piles scattered throughout the neighborhood, attracting bears and other wildlife close to people's homes. Fearing for the safety of residents, Officer Holmes works quickly to remove the bait and educate locals about the dangers of feeding wild animals.
Another officer, Timmins, responds to a call about an injured moose near a busy road. With the animal clearly in distress, Timmins must find a way to safely tranquilize and relocate the moose without causing harm to the animal or nearby motorists. The tense situation underscores the delicate balance between preserving wildlife and protecting human life.
Throughout the episode, viewers are reminded of the importance of responsible hunting and conservation practices. Officers work tirelessly to educate the public about the dangers of baiting and feeding wild animals and ensure that wildlife populations remain healthy and sustainable. As always, North Woods Law provides an exhilarating glimpse into the world of Conservation Law Enforcement and the challenges faced by those tasked with protecting our natural resources.
