Hi Parker,


The following list highlights the steps you'll need to take to become a Game Warden, or a Game and Fish Warden:




  • Characteristic: A love of the outdoors and being outdoors in all kinds of weather and terrain.




  • Education: Get a college eductaion! Ideally in a related field (such as Environmental Sciences, Law Enforcement, or Criminal Justice). We've put together a list of recommended schools and degree's for game wardens.




  • Application: In order to be considered for a Game and Fish Warden position, most states require that you are at least 21 years old, though some accept 18. Additionally, you must have a valid driver's license and will be subject to a thorough background check.




  • Fitness: A certain level of fitness is expected to become a Game Warden. You will be tested on your fitness level during the application process.




  • Mental Health: You will undergo a psychological exam to ascertain that you have good mental health.




  • Training: Because a Game and Fish Warden is considered a Peace Officer, you must attend a Warden or Police Academy. The length of time varies, but is usually between three months to a year, the average being six months.




You will take courses including those covering the laws you will need to know when you become a Game Warden; will learn various driving methods in various vehicles, situations, and terrains; will become adept at firearms safety and usage, and defensive tactics.



  • Graduation: Once you graduate from the academy, you will be assigned a post in the state where you are a Game Warden, Fish and Game Warden, or Wildlife Warden.
