What happens

North Woods Law is an American reality television series that debuted on March 11, 2012, on the Animal Planet channel. Originally set in Maine, the show followed numerous game wardens of the Maine Warden Service. Paul LePage, then governor of Maine, took credit for canceling the show, arguing that it was not a good reflection of Maine. Other sources noted controversy concerning a poaching sting operation. In 2017, the show changed locations to New Hampshire, following members of the state's Fish and Game Department. The series was renewed for a sixteenth season, which began on June 20, 2021. As of July 2024, filming for the show is currently on hold, but the producers have expressed optimism for further episodes. In 2025, the producers behind the show, Engel Entertainment, announced a new show following the conservation officers of New Hampshire under a new title, On Patrol New Hampshire, which streams on their YouTube page, The Game Warden Channel. Lone Star Law is a spin-off series set in Texas. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
