But David, for anyone who isn't already familiar with the Texas game wardens, can you tell me who they are?
Well, game wardens are first and foremost our state's conservation law enforcement entity.
They are charged with, uh, protecting and conserving the state's natural resources, our, our public trust resources, which we all enjoy, right? Whether we're hunting or fishing, we're going outdoors to bird watch, or we're getting on the waters to do a day's worth of canoeing or kayaking.
They are available as needed and called upon f- to do a, a number of different things outside of conserving our natural resources and protecting our natural resources.
Part of the work that they do is search and rescue, and when the time comes and, and they're called up, they're there usually first on the scene.
