- October 11, 2013
Wild Justice is an American television series that follows wardens of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) as they patrol California's wilderness, protect wildlife, and enforce the state's hunting and fishing laws. In season 4 episode 14, entitled "Tracks of a Killer," viewers are taken on a thrilling ride as the wardens investigate a difficult case involving the illegal killing of a cougar.
The episode follows Lieutenant Henry Camargo and Warden Doug Seamans as they embark on a mission to track down the individual responsible for killing a mountain lion in California's Santa Ana Mountains. The killing of a mountain lion is illegal in California, so the wardens are quick to respond to the call and begin their investigation. The wardens are well-equipped with their tracking skills, as well as a team of trained dogs, to find the perpetrator.
The investigation proves to be quite challenging, as the wardens have to look for the shooter in a vast and difficult terrain. They start by surveying the area for tracks that could lead them to the killer. They soon find themselves examining a nearby trailhead to see if any cars arrived around the time of the shot. They manage to find a suspicious track, leading them to believe they might be getting closer to the killer.
As the investigation progresses, it becomes clear that this was no random shooting. The mountain lion killed was stunning, with a thick fur coat, meaning that they were not hunting it for food. The wardens soon start to suspect that this may be a trophy kill and could lead them to a serial animal killer at large. This suspicion is confirmed when they find another dead mountain lion in the same area. The wardens confirm that a poacher may be targeting large cats in the area, which could put other wildlife and humans at risk.
The episode becomes more intense as the wardens continue to track the killer and uncover surprising evidence that puts them on the right track towards a suspect. The information found allows them to confront the perpetrator, who is initially not cooperative. However, the wardens finally get the information they need to close in on the individual responsible for the illegal hunting.
With the help of modern technology, the wardens were able to collect DNA samples from the mountain lion's fur coat and link it to the suspect, ultimately leading them to this person's door. The wardens make the arrest and the suspect is held accountable for their actions. As the episode concludes, the wardens are left with a feeling of satisfaction and justice for the animals that were hunted for no good reason.
Wild Justice season 4 episode 14 offers viewers high-quality entertainment with thrilling gameplay and an underlying message of compassion for animals. The episode highlights the dedication of California Department of Fish and Wildlife wardens and their commitment to promoting wildlife conservation and the importance of following state laws while conducting outdoor activities. Viewers are left with a sense of renewed respect for California's wildlife and the wardens tasked with protecting it.
