1
00:00:00,835 --> 00:00:04,003
Looking good. Got it.
2
00:00:06,574 --> 00:00:09,075
They got the head. Passing the head.
3
00:00:11,445 --> 00:00:16,416
Today we made a team up of local fire crews and EMS crews
4
00:00:11,613 --> 00:00:13,446
She was going about ten miles an hour and rolled it.
5
00:00:13,514 --> 00:00:15,982
- Any major pain anywhere? -From here down.
6
00:00:16,050 --> 00:00:18,618
My duties are making sure there are no life threats.
7
00:00:16,484 --> 00:00:19,718
with a couple conservation officers sprinkled in there.
8
00:00:18,553 --> 00:00:20,419
We can get you to that machine right there. I just--
9
00:00:19,787 --> 00:00:23,522
There's just so few conservation officers in the state of New Hampshire.
10
00:00:20,521 --> 00:00:21,820
Ow!
11
00:00:21,890 --> 00:00:23,689
...neighborhood in an uproar right now
12
00:00:23,591 --> 00:00:27,259
It's so important that, beyond what I can explain,
13
00:00:23,758 --> 00:00:24,824
because a man trapped a skunk.
14
00:00:24,892 --> 00:00:26,526
I can head that way,
15
00:00:26,461 --> 00:00:29,162
but if they're gonna give us a hard time about it, we can charge him.
16
00:00:27,162 --> 00:00:30,963
to have these relationships with local emergency crews.
17
00:00:29,230 --> 00:00:30,329
That's ridiculous.
18
00:00:30,398 --> 00:00:32,098
Who would be cruel to freaking animals?
19
00:00:31,032 --> 00:00:33,098
And with those local relationships,
20
00:00:33,167 --> 00:00:36,102
we can get the job done very quickly and very safely.
21
00:00:33,668 --> 00:00:35,234
One, two, three.
22
00:00:35,303 --> 00:00:38,237
With the uncertain winter that we've had with varying temperatures,
23
00:00:37,338 --> 00:00:41,040
-Excellent. -Perfect. And we're off.
24
00:00:38,306 --> 00:00:42,007
we're not really sure how deep the ice is on the lake right now.
25
00:00:42,077 --> 00:00:43,643
Slow and steady wins the race.
26
00:00:47,515 --> 00:00:49,348
On the right side of this rock.
27
00:00:49,017 --> 00:00:51,284
From the White Mountains of the northeast
28
00:00:51,352 --> 00:00:53,419
to the shores of the Atlantic ocean,
29
00:00:53,487 --> 00:00:55,621
the conservation officers of New Hampshire
30
00:00:55,690 --> 00:00:58,524
stop at nothing to protect the wildlife...
31
00:00:57,291 --> 00:00:58,791
Awesome.
32
00:00:58,593 --> 00:01:01,260
There's no point in lying. You shot the deer.
33
00:00:59,660 --> 00:01:01,427
Good job. Whoo.
34
00:01:01,329 --> 00:01:02,495
...preserve the resources...
35
00:01:01,495 --> 00:01:03,462
Nice, we did it. Good job.
36
00:01:02,497 --> 00:01:04,130
-There she goes!
37
00:01:03,531 --> 00:01:06,198
We're at the trail head, at the ambulance.
38
00:01:04,065 --> 00:01:05,197
...catch the violators...
39
00:01:05,266 --> 00:01:06,632
You want to end up in handcuffs?
40
00:01:06,100 --> 00:01:08,034
The patient is in good spirits
41
00:01:06,635 --> 00:01:09,736
...and serve the citizens of the Live Free or Die State.
42
00:01:08,102 --> 00:01:10,202
and seems to be doing okay right now
43
00:01:10,271 --> 00:01:11,871
so we're gonna hand him off to the ambulance crew
44
00:01:11,106 --> 00:01:12,372
One, two, three.
45
00:01:11,939 --> 00:01:15,007
where he's gonna go to the hospital and get the medical attention he needs.
46
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:13,806
Patrick!
47
00:01:13,808 --> 00:01:15,475
You guys technically are all trespassing.
48
00:01:15,076 --> 00:01:16,409
That was a doozy.
49
00:01:16,344 --> 00:01:18,010
All excused from the gym tonight.
50
00:01:17,645 --> 00:01:20,613
He was last seen in between that rock and the shoreline.
51
00:01:20,314 --> 00:01:22,214
Of the three years I've been part of this agency,
52
00:01:20,681 --> 00:01:22,682
I'm not gonna cut you any more slack from here on out.
53
00:01:22,150 --> 00:01:24,317
I've been on approximately 20 search and rescues at this point.
54
00:01:24,252 --> 00:01:27,319
This one's been definitely one of the more unique, more challenging ones.
55
00:01:24,385 --> 00:01:26,252
It's like I'm talking to a wall.
56
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:27,687
Show me something.
57
00:01:27,388 --> 00:01:29,688
But it went pretty well, all in all.
58
00:01:29,757 --> 00:01:32,091
-Do you have all the information? -A lot of it.
59
00:01:32,026 --> 00:01:33,292
-Do you mind doing this one? -Yeah.
60
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,728
-Okay. It's in Antrim, right? -Yes.
61
00:01:35,663 --> 00:01:37,796
Overall, this was a good rescue.
62
00:01:37,865 --> 00:01:39,565
Our patient seems to be doing well.
63
00:01:38,032 --> 00:01:39,499
In Pittsburg, New Hampshire,
64
00:01:39,567 --> 00:01:43,269
conservation officer Chris Egan begins his day of snowmobile patrol
65
00:01:39,633 --> 00:01:41,767
And other than a wet cameraman
66
00:01:41,836 --> 00:01:43,836
and a broken camera, there were no injuries.
67
00:01:43,337 --> 00:01:45,238
at a trail crossing near Murphy Dam.
68
00:01:43,771 --> 00:01:46,905
We had a lot of different agencies helping out with this rescue
69
00:01:46,975 --> 00:01:50,643
and the Fish and Game Department wouldn't have been able to do this on their own
70
00:01:49,911 --> 00:01:51,610
Today is Saturday.
71
00:01:50,711 --> 00:01:53,446
so really thankful and grateful for all this help today.
72
00:01:51,479 --> 00:01:54,847
Just out monitoring traffic at this point at a junction that's pretty busy
73
00:01:54,916 --> 00:01:58,084
right in the in-town area of Pittsburg.
74
00:01:58,152 --> 00:02:01,788
I'm gonna monitor just for registration requirements
75
00:02:01,723 --> 00:02:04,256
and exhaust requirements.
76
00:02:04,125 --> 00:02:07,827
Just make sure everybody's enjoying themselves safely on the trails today.
77
00:02:10,732 --> 00:02:13,166
Sometimes the stickers are hard to see when they put them here.
78
00:02:14,102 --> 00:02:15,401
Their Maine sticker is here...
79
00:02:16,637 --> 00:02:18,805
from the state of Maine, and I could see that,
80
00:02:18,740 --> 00:02:20,740
but then their New Hampshire sticker was up here
81
00:02:20,675 --> 00:02:24,744
so they almost have to go past me sometimes before I see their...
82
00:02:24,812 --> 00:02:26,879
If their New Hampshire sticker is here or here.
83
00:02:28,583 --> 00:02:31,951
Northern New Hampshire is very well known for having consistent snow.
84
00:02:32,019 --> 00:02:35,955
We get riders that travel here from hours and hours away.
85
00:02:36,024 --> 00:02:41,193
I'm seeing groups of machines that have stickers from Massachusetts, New York,
86
00:02:41,262 --> 00:02:45,998
Vermont, other states where there's snowmobiling in their states as well.
87
00:02:46,067 --> 00:02:50,303
And they come to New Hampshire to enjoy what we have to offer them.
88
00:02:52,607 --> 00:02:53,940
Hey, hey, hey, hey. Where you going?
89
00:02:55,043 --> 00:02:56,109
That's a road, dude.
90
00:03:01,182 --> 00:03:01,814
What?
91
00:03:03,017 --> 00:03:03,650
That way.
92
00:03:05,419 --> 00:03:08,621
So this junction is kind of confusing to some riders who haven't been through it
93
00:03:08,689 --> 00:03:11,223
in that it crosses a public road
94
00:03:11,292 --> 00:03:14,927
and it kind of can look like a groomed trail at times.
95
00:03:14,996 --> 00:03:16,762
And the rider in this big group
96
00:03:16,831 --> 00:03:19,799
just kind of came straight right through the intersection and was headed down the road.
97
00:03:20,535 --> 00:03:21,501
Hey, hey.
98
00:03:25,507 --> 00:03:27,573
I noticed a couple of the sleds in the group
99
00:03:27,642 --> 00:03:30,710
don't have registration stickers that are valid in New Hampshire.
100
00:03:30,778 --> 00:03:32,245
They have New York stickers on them.
101
00:03:34,148 --> 00:03:37,817
I'm gonna try to get in front of the entire group so I can stop them all.
102
00:03:42,022 --> 00:03:43,723
Just so you know,
103
00:03:43,791 --> 00:03:45,858
one of your headlights looks like it's got a fault in it.
104
00:03:45,794 --> 00:03:46,926
Do you know that?
105
00:03:46,861 --> 00:03:48,795
Okay, just wanted to make sure you knew it.
106
00:03:49,898 --> 00:03:50,763
Awesome.
107
00:03:52,767 --> 00:03:54,067
In Franklin, New Hampshire,
108
00:03:54,135 --> 00:03:57,170
conservation officers Kevin Bronson and Josiah Towne
109
00:03:57,238 --> 00:04:00,406
patrol activity during the Webster Lake Ice Fishing Derby.
110
00:04:03,745 --> 00:04:05,211
There you go.
111
00:04:05,146 --> 00:04:07,413
-How you doing, Josiah? -What's going on?
112
00:04:07,348 --> 00:04:08,247
How you been?
113
00:04:08,249 --> 00:04:09,449
Good. What are you guys doing?
114
00:04:09,517 --> 00:04:10,516
Just going out fishing?
115
00:04:12,820 --> 00:04:14,420
Oh, you're getting the four-wheelers out?
116
00:04:14,488 --> 00:04:15,687
Yeah.
117
00:04:15,757 --> 00:04:18,391
This morning, sounds like two ATVs did go through the ice.
118
00:04:18,459 --> 00:04:21,260
-Everyone made it out, obviously. -All made it out.
119
00:04:21,329 --> 00:04:25,431
Luckily, in this situation, the two riders made it out fine, they're okay.
120
00:04:25,499 --> 00:04:28,300
But the two machines are still in there
121
00:04:28,369 --> 00:04:30,469
So it's quite a circus to get them out.
122
00:04:30,538 --> 00:04:33,472
Gotta call a bunch of people and figure out how you're gonna get them out,
123
00:04:33,541 --> 00:04:35,174
and it's not easy.
124
00:04:35,242 --> 00:04:36,609
Be safe down there, guys.
125
00:04:37,912 --> 00:04:38,878
All right.

127
00:04:54,362 --> 00:04:56,162
How's it going? Got a trophy?
128
00:04:56,631 --> 00:04:57,830
Awesome!
129
00:04:57,898 --> 00:04:59,098
Can I get a high-five?
130
00:04:59,167 --> 00:05:00,700
Yeah?
131
00:05:00,768 --> 00:05:02,468
Good job! So, what is it?
132
00:05:04,672 --> 00:05:06,239
Awesome! Good for you.
133
00:05:08,409 --> 00:05:10,143
You got three trophies?
134
00:05:12,580 --> 00:05:13,846
And two in the truck?
135
00:05:13,915 --> 00:05:15,815
You got one in the truck and then you've got this one.
136
00:05:15,883 --> 00:05:17,816
This is a good day for you.
137
00:05:17,886 --> 00:05:19,218
You're gonna have to teach me how to fish.
138
00:05:21,289 --> 00:05:22,688
Well, congratulations, ma'am.
139
00:05:24,825 --> 00:05:25,725
See you!
140
00:05:36,271 --> 00:05:38,638
All right, what do you think?
141
00:05:38,706 --> 00:05:40,406
They're taking the ATV out.
142
00:05:40,341 --> 00:05:42,408
So where are they? I thought it was right here.
143
00:06:05,166 --> 00:06:08,100
Any time you're taking a vehicle out on the ice,
144
00:06:08,169 --> 00:06:10,236
you're taking a risk that it's gonna go through.
145
00:06:13,041 --> 00:06:14,006
I'm all right.
146
00:06:14,942 --> 00:06:16,142
Oh, nice. There you go.
147
00:06:16,444 --> 00:06:17,310
See you.
148
00:06:28,989 --> 00:06:31,257
It all depends on how thick the ice is,
149
00:06:31,325 --> 00:06:33,059
if it's going to be able to hold that machine.
150
00:06:33,127 --> 00:06:36,429
And if you go over a lake like Webster,
151
00:06:36,364 --> 00:06:38,764
just because there's two feet of ice in one spot
152
00:06:38,832 --> 00:06:41,466
doesn't mean that it's two feet ten feet away from that.
153
00:06:41,502 --> 00:06:45,504
It changes very rapidly on Webster Lake, much like all New England lakes.
154
00:06:51,379 --> 00:06:52,377
You guys ready to go?
155
00:06:52,247 --> 00:06:52,912
Yeah.
156
00:06:55,917 --> 00:06:58,384
The most important thing here is that everyone made it out alive.
157
00:06:58,452 --> 00:07:00,686
Nobody drowned. This isn't a recovery
158
00:07:00,755 --> 00:07:03,155
other than for their ATVs.
159
00:07:03,224 --> 00:07:05,091
So, anywhere you go, you need to check the ice.
160
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,092
Whoo!
161
00:07:07,161 --> 00:07:08,394
Not bad for a day's work.
162
00:07:09,063 --> 00:07:10,596
It can be life or death.
163
00:07:16,437 --> 00:07:17,703
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
164
00:07:19,573 --> 00:07:23,175
Back in Pittsburg, conservation officer Chris Egan is in pursuit
165
00:07:23,243 --> 00:07:26,512
of a group of snowmobilers with improper registration stickers.
166
00:07:42,797 --> 00:07:44,497
Just looking for your registrations.
167
00:07:50,104 --> 00:07:52,438
How we doing? Just looking for your registration stickers.
168
00:07:52,873 --> 00:07:53,806
Yeah, okay.
169
00:07:54,575 --> 00:07:55,774
-How you doing? -Good, yourself?
170
00:07:55,843 --> 00:07:56,976
Good.
171
00:07:57,044 --> 00:07:59,111
Just looking for your registration stickers for New Hampshire.
172
00:07:59,047 --> 00:08:01,681
ay, why don't you grab your license for me please.
173
00:08:02,750 --> 00:08:03,882
Okay, yeah.
174
00:08:03,951 --> 00:08:07,320
Registrations are specific to whatever state you ride in,
175
00:08:07,388 --> 00:08:10,056
and that's pretty uniform across the country.
176
00:08:10,124 --> 00:08:11,724
Because you're registered in your home state
177
00:08:11,792 --> 00:08:15,294
doesn't allow you to operate in a nonresident state
178
00:08:15,229 --> 00:08:17,797
unless you purchase a registration in that state as well.
179
00:08:19,567 --> 00:08:21,333
So, yours,
180
00:08:21,269 --> 00:08:23,902
just make sure that you match up the VIN numbers. You gotta get them on your sleds...
181
00:08:23,971 --> 00:08:25,671
-Okay. -...before you drive away from here.
182
00:08:25,740 --> 00:08:28,373
So just make sure you put the right sticker on the right sled.
183
00:08:28,443 --> 00:08:32,044
So, several of the group actually have registrations with them.
184
00:08:32,113 --> 00:08:35,180
They just didn't have the stickers placed on their machines.
185
00:08:35,249 --> 00:08:38,951
I'm gonna have them do that while I check a couple of the other riders
186
00:08:38,886 --> 00:08:42,088
that actually don't have registrations at all.
187
00:08:42,023 --> 00:08:44,890
If we get pulled over again today, can you give us a ticket for the same thing
188
00:08:44,826 --> 00:08:45,757
in the same day?
189
00:08:45,827 --> 00:08:47,126
You're gonna have to register today, yeah.
190
00:08:47,194 --> 00:08:49,127
I mean, this will get you to registration.
191
00:08:49,197 --> 00:08:51,130
I'm not gonna yank your sleds out from under you, but...
192
00:08:52,333 --> 00:08:53,032
Yeah.
193
00:08:53,901 --> 00:08:54,834
How much is the ticket?
194
00:08:54,902 --> 00:08:56,235
It's 248.
195
00:08:56,303 --> 00:08:56,969
One forty eight?
196
00:08:57,038 --> 00:08:58,603
-Two forty eight. -Oh, really?
197
00:08:58,673 --> 00:09:01,574
Yeah. It went up this year because it was one of the most common violations
198
00:09:01,642 --> 00:09:02,975
we were running into and...
199
00:09:03,043 --> 00:09:04,643
you know, that's the deterrent factor
200
00:09:04,712 --> 00:09:07,179
and like I said, when you got other members of your group that did...
201
00:09:07,248 --> 00:09:08,781
that did register,
202
00:09:08,716 --> 00:09:11,183
it doesn't look good to them either if I just say, "Well, just go register."
203
00:09:11,251 --> 00:09:14,052
They think, " Why did we even get a sticker in the first place?
204
00:09:14,122 --> 00:09:15,654
We should've just driven till we got caught.
205
00:09:15,722 --> 00:09:18,256
And if we didn't get caught we would have gotten away with it," you know?
206
00:09:18,126 --> 00:09:19,658
So, the two riders that didn't register
207
00:09:19,727 --> 00:09:24,663
are going to go away with citations to court for a $248 deterrent
208
00:09:24,732 --> 00:09:27,933
so that in hopes that they'll register their machines before they go out.
209
00:09:28,001 --> 00:09:31,470
And it also spreads the word that we're actually looking
210
00:09:31,539 --> 00:09:33,472
and we're paying attention to stickers
211
00:09:33,541 --> 00:09:37,209
and making sure that people are paying to enjoy the trail system.
212
00:09:37,277 --> 00:09:41,113
All registration money goes directly into maintaining our trail system
213
00:09:41,181 --> 00:09:44,349
and keeping it groomed with four groomers every night in this town
214
00:09:44,418 --> 00:09:46,652
and stuff and... and state-wide.
215
00:09:46,587 --> 00:09:51,256
You know, 6,000-plus miles of maintenance and all that stuff.
216
00:09:51,325 --> 00:09:53,458
So, it really is a closed... It's a closed system.
217
00:09:53,528 --> 00:09:56,929
So your money goes right back into the maintenance of the trails.
218
00:09:56,997 --> 00:09:58,230
All right, cool.
219
00:09:58,099 --> 00:09:59,799
All right, guys. Thank you.
220
00:10:01,169 --> 00:10:02,935
So, this was a good contact overall.
221
00:10:02,870 --> 00:10:04,403
It was a very friendly group.
222
00:10:04,472 --> 00:10:07,006
And I think the two that took a risk and didn't register,
223
00:10:06,941 --> 00:10:09,909
they took their lumps and I think they'll come back to New Hampshire,
224
00:10:09,977 --> 00:10:11,776
and next time they come, they'll be sure to have
225
00:10:11,846 --> 00:10:13,712
registration stickers before they head out.
226
00:10:17,218 --> 00:10:19,885
So, I'm gonna mix it up a little bit and just head to Lake Francis.
227
00:10:19,954 --> 00:10:22,687
Therseems to be quite a bit of activity on the ice today, so
228
00:10:22,757 --> 00:10:24,190
go see how the ice fishermen are making out.
229
00:10:32,233 --> 00:10:33,099
Having any luck?
230
00:10:33,167 --> 00:10:34,333
- Just got here. -Did you?
231
00:10:40,508 --> 00:10:42,775
Somebody just crashed down by the dam.
232
00:10:42,843 --> 00:10:44,477
I received a call in my earbud
233
00:10:44,545 --> 00:10:46,412
that there was a snowmobile crash
234
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,581
just a short distance away from here, down by Murphy Dam.
235
00:10:49,450 --> 00:10:52,584
Fish and game 18, Colebrook on repeater. I got the message direct.
236
00:10:52,653 --> 00:10:54,286
I'm two minutes out.
237
00:10:54,354 --> 00:10:57,089
I don't have any details, really, on the extent of injuries.
238
00:10:57,158 --> 00:10:59,725
I'm the closest medically trained personnel.
239
00:10:59,793 --> 00:11:02,728
So it's important for me to get there as quickly as I can.
240
00:11:15,543 --> 00:11:18,677
Fish and game 18, Colebrook on repeater. I got the message direct.
241
00:11:20,114 --> 00:11:21,379
I'm two minutes out.
242
00:11:21,449 --> 00:11:22,981
In Pittsburg, New Hampshire,
243
00:11:23,050 --> 00:11:27,186
conservation officer Chris Egan rushes to the scene of a snowmobile accident.
244
00:11:49,109 --> 00:11:50,108
Right there, Chris,
245
00:11:50,177 --> 00:11:51,310
She was going about ten miles an hour.
246
00:11:51,378 --> 00:11:54,346
rolled it. She got tingling in her left.
247
00:11:54,414 --> 00:11:56,615
- Okay. -I told her not to move too much until we got...
248
00:11:56,684 --> 00:11:58,083
So, were you coming down or were you...
249
00:11:58,152 --> 00:11:59,684
-Going up. -Going up? Okay.
250
00:11:59,754 --> 00:12:02,288
And you just kind of went off this and it tipped over?
251
00:12:02,356 --> 00:12:03,289
I don't think it tipped over.
252
00:12:03,357 --> 00:12:04,289
No, it didn't.
253
00:12:04,192 --> 00:12:05,324
Oh, just you rolled over?
254
00:12:05,259 --> 00:12:06,925
-Yeah. -Okay.
255
00:12:06,994 --> 00:12:08,727
She wants to sit, but I told her for right now until we find out what's going on--
256
00:12:08,796 --> 00:12:09,661
Everybody's on their way.
257
00:12:09,730 --> 00:12:13,398
Yeah, so any pain, like major pain anywhere?
258
00:12:13,467 --> 00:12:14,333
From here down.
259
00:12:14,268 --> 00:12:17,002
Okay, and it's tingly or painful?
260
00:12:17,070 --> 00:12:18,337
-Painful. -Painful? Okay.
261
00:12:18,405 --> 00:12:19,705
-And my hand is tingling. -Okay.
262
00:12:19,773 --> 00:12:21,740
Conservation officers in New Hampshire are all
263
00:12:21,742 --> 00:12:24,109
medically trained first responders.
264
00:12:24,178 --> 00:12:26,178
We're certified, licensed in the state.
265
00:12:26,247 --> 00:12:30,215
So, my basic duty is making sure there are no life threats
266
00:12:30,284 --> 00:12:35,086
that are gonna potentially kill somebody before somebody else arrives.
267
00:12:35,156 --> 00:12:37,088
And back here? Nothing hurts in your back?
268
00:12:37,158 --> 00:12:37,790
No.
269
00:12:38,892 --> 00:12:39,625
No.
270
00:12:39,693 --> 00:12:40,859
-Down low here, nothing? -No.
271
00:12:41,461 --> 00:12:42,461
Okay.
272
00:12:42,529 --> 00:12:44,163
-And how about your neck? -No.
273
00:12:44,098 --> 00:12:45,631
Nothing on your neck at all?
274
00:12:45,699 --> 00:12:46,698
No.
275
00:12:46,767 --> 00:12:48,867
She had no pain whatsoever in her spine or neck,
276
00:12:48,936 --> 00:12:51,136
so I had no reason to believe that she had an injury
277
00:12:51,205 --> 00:12:53,471
that would be potentially life-threatening if she moved.
278
00:12:53,541 --> 00:12:55,040
We want to pick her right up?
279
00:12:55,109 --> 00:12:58,310
Yeah, we can get you right to that machine right there so that you can sit.
280
00:12:58,379 --> 00:13:00,579
It's going to be a little bit till the ambulance gets here.
281
00:13:00,648 --> 00:13:02,715
So, if we turn you one way or the other here,
282
00:13:03,317 --> 00:13:04,483
should be able to...
283
00:13:05,786 --> 00:13:08,487
set you down and get some weight off of that.
284
00:13:09,790 --> 00:13:10,923
Can you feel the seat yet?
285
00:13:11,024 --> 00:13:12,324
Yeah.
286
00:13:12,393 --> 00:13:13,759
Hi, Chris. What you got?
287
00:13:13,827 --> 00:13:16,561
Here we go. Here's a higher trained personnel here, so...
288
00:13:16,630 --> 00:13:17,730
Fell off her snow machine.
289
00:13:17,665 --> 00:13:19,431
That's where the machine landed.
290
00:13:19,499 --> 00:13:22,967
She landed right down here, just kind of slow-motion ten-mile-an-hour tip-off.
291
00:13:23,037 --> 00:13:24,569
-Okay. -Landed on her left side.
292
00:13:24,638 --> 00:13:29,074
And she has pain from here down.
293
00:13:29,143 --> 00:13:30,609
-You're gonna tell him when it hurts. -Ow, ow, ow.
294
00:13:30,677 --> 00:13:31,610
Okay. gonna tell them.
295
00:13:32,212 --> 00:13:32,978
Yes.
296
00:13:36,384 --> 00:13:37,016
I am.
297
00:13:38,018 --> 00:13:39,685
Yeah. Yeah.
298
00:13:39,753 --> 00:13:42,154
So, after tending to the patient's injuries,
299
00:13:42,222 --> 00:13:46,058
we just need to fully investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.
300
00:13:46,126 --> 00:13:47,593
Are you her husband, sir?
301
00:13:47,661 --> 00:13:48,460
Boyfriend.
302
00:13:48,528 --> 00:13:50,428
Okay, do you have ID with you?
303
00:13:50,498 --> 00:13:51,130
Yeah.
304
00:13:53,434 --> 00:13:54,866
I'll just snap a picture of that
305
00:13:54,935 --> 00:13:56,268
so I can attach it to the same...
306
00:13:58,005 --> 00:14:00,906
This particular incident occurred at a very slow speed.
307
00:14:00,974 --> 00:14:02,341
I guess it's an example of,
308
00:14:02,276 --> 00:14:05,277
even on a slope at slow speed,
309
00:14:05,345 --> 00:14:10,015
the traction of the track can force the front skis up off the snow a little bit,
310
00:14:10,083 --> 00:14:14,720
make them lighter, and make them less likely to track into a turn.
311
00:14:14,788 --> 00:14:16,321
Instead, kind of push through the turn,
312
00:14:16,390 --> 00:14:19,024
and that's exactly, I believe, what happened in this case.
313
00:14:19,092 --> 00:14:20,959
We got you. Don't worry.
314
00:14:21,028 --> 00:14:23,095
-Yeah, got the board. -Ready?
315
00:14:23,163 --> 00:14:24,363
One, two, three.
316
00:14:24,431 --> 00:14:25,664
Slide.
317
00:14:25,599 --> 00:14:27,266
- Ow. -All right.
318
00:14:27,201 --> 00:14:28,967
This is gonna be hard for me, but ready? One. two--
319
00:14:29,036 --> 00:14:31,136
Let me take this one here. You take that for me. How's that?
320
00:14:31,072 --> 00:14:32,071
One, two, three, up.
321
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,406
The rescue sled wasn't necessary,
322
00:14:35,475 --> 00:14:37,141
which can be a pretty bumpy ride.
323
00:14:37,210 --> 00:14:39,978
So, thankfully, it's gonna be a short carry to the ambulance
324
00:14:39,913 --> 00:14:41,312
and then a short trip to the hospital.
325
00:14:41,248 --> 00:14:43,014
All right, folks, good luck.
326
00:14:42,949 --> 00:14:44,148
-Thank you. - Thank you.
327
00:14:44,217 --> 00:14:45,350
-Really appreciate it. -You're welcome.
328
00:14:46,420 --> 00:14:48,353
Thankfully she didn't get hurt any worse
329
00:14:48,421 --> 00:14:51,456
and didn't really strike any object
330
00:14:51,391 --> 00:14:53,491
and just kind of tipped off over that embankment.
331
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,294
Thankfully, it was close to the road.
332
00:14:56,229 --> 00:15:00,031
The ambulance can almost get right to the scene, so...
333
00:15:00,099 --> 00:15:03,935
It really was the best of situations to have in a crash situation.
334
00:15:13,046 --> 00:15:15,279
There's usually a bunch of mallards right here on the left-hand side.
335
00:15:15,348 --> 00:15:16,514
Let's see if they're here.
336
00:15:23,223 --> 00:15:24,488
I love ducks.
337
00:15:24,558 --> 00:15:26,257
I wish there were some woodies in there.
338
00:15:26,326 --> 00:15:29,728
I never get chances to, like, stop and actually look at wildlife sometimes.
339
00:15:32,298 --> 00:15:32,997
It's pretty neat.
340
00:15:34,868 --> 00:15:37,468
That's honestly one of the biggest contributing factors
341
00:15:37,537 --> 00:15:39,804
as to why I wanted to be a conservation officer for New Hampshire.
342
00:15:39,873 --> 00:15:40,939
Absolutely.
343
00:15:41,007 --> 00:15:41,940
This is the best job.
344
00:15:43,210 --> 00:15:45,243
Until I have to touch a snake.
345
00:15:45,311 --> 00:15:46,610
In Rockingham County,
346
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,846
conservation officer Richard Crouse patrols
347
00:15:48,915 --> 00:15:51,149
the lakes and ponds around Auburn.
348
00:15:51,084 --> 00:15:54,085
Today I'm gonna dive around. We're gonna check some of the ponds.
349
00:15:54,153 --> 00:15:56,721
There's very little ice down here in southern New Hampshire.
350
00:15:57,524 --> 00:15:58,923
And...
351
00:15:58,992 --> 00:16:01,793
I got a couple ponds that have some pretty substantial ice on it
352
00:16:01,728 --> 00:16:04,929
that people have been fishing religiously throughout the weeks.
353
00:16:04,998 --> 00:16:06,397
Sun's up high today.
354
00:16:06,266 --> 00:16:07,832
No wind.
355
00:16:07,900 --> 00:16:11,169
It's about 20 degrees, so ultimately for ice fishing, that's perfect weather.
356
00:16:11,237 --> 00:16:13,037
From that, we'll try to roll with the punches.
357
00:16:14,808 --> 00:16:16,941
I like checking fishermen,
358
00:16:16,777 --> 00:16:18,543
and I really like checking snowmobiles.
359
00:16:19,413 --> 00:16:21,780
So I really like this time of year.
360
00:16:23,650 --> 00:16:26,017
Going into Lake Massabesic.
361
00:16:26,085 --> 00:16:28,786
There's always somebody fishing here, so...
362
00:16:28,722 --> 00:16:29,921
Got some fishermen.
363
00:16:32,025 --> 00:16:34,359
We'll hop on out here and check some licenses,
364
00:16:34,427 --> 00:16:35,360
see how it goes.
365
00:16:38,198 --> 00:16:39,964
I'm putting on my...
366
00:16:40,033 --> 00:16:42,366
I call them creepers but they're ice cleats.
367
00:16:42,435 --> 00:16:45,736
When you step, these grip the ice so you don't slip and slide.
368
00:16:45,639 --> 00:16:50,007
I'm not a good skater, so this is what I use.
369
00:16:49,910 --> 00:16:52,310
Hardest part of this is keeping balance just to put it on.
370
00:16:53,580 --> 00:16:54,546
Let's go do something fun.
371
00:16:57,050 --> 00:16:59,484
When I'm patrolling for ice fishermen and checking licenses,
372
00:16:59,552 --> 00:17:01,686
I'm looking for bag limits, immediately.
373
00:17:01,621 --> 00:17:06,423
I'm always checking for the amount of lines or traps set out by each person.
374
00:17:06,493 --> 00:17:08,760
I'm checking the safety of the ice.
375
00:17:08,828 --> 00:17:12,463
As I'm going out, if there's any holes drilled on the way, I check them
376
00:17:12,399 --> 00:17:15,967
and just kind of get an eyeball figure of how deep the ice is.
377
00:17:17,304 --> 00:17:18,303
Good. What about you?
378
00:17:25,845 --> 00:17:27,011
Yeah, if I could get it.
379
00:17:30,884 --> 00:17:32,183
Sure, no problem.
380
00:17:32,252 --> 00:17:35,253
They both immediately knew that I was a conservation officer
381
00:17:35,321 --> 00:17:37,321
and I wanted to see their fishing licence
382
00:17:37,390 --> 00:17:39,958
and they seemed to have every intention to drive me back to the truck
383
00:17:39,893 --> 00:17:41,626
and get me away from the bobhouse,
384
00:17:41,694 --> 00:17:44,862
which seems really interesting behavior.
385
00:17:44,931 --> 00:17:47,031
I don't see it like that very often.
386
00:17:47,100 --> 00:17:50,034
Usually people are excited that we're there,
387
00:17:50,102 --> 00:17:51,836
want to talk to us, want to keep us around
388
00:17:51,905 --> 00:17:54,538
and show us all the cool shenanigans going on in their bobhouse.
389
00:17:54,608 --> 00:17:56,140
You got any traps up in the ice house?
390
00:17:56,209 --> 00:17:58,943
-No, no. Digging rod. -We just had the digging rod.
391
00:17:58,778 --> 00:18:00,445
We were gonna consider putting out a few,
392
00:18:00,380 --> 00:18:02,313
but then we started hearing too many noises
393
00:18:02,381 --> 00:18:03,648
and it's just sketching us out too much.
394
00:18:04,050 --> 00:18:04,949
Okay.
395
00:18:09,856 --> 00:18:10,755
Okay.
396
00:18:11,892 --> 00:18:13,057
Who's got the marijuana?
397
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:14,726
What's that?
398
00:18:14,661 --> 00:18:15,493
Who's got the weed?
399
00:18:25,338 --> 00:18:26,704
You want our license?
400
00:18:26,773 --> 00:18:27,639
Yeah, if I could get it.
401
00:18:31,811 --> 00:18:32,810
Sure, no problem.
402
00:18:32,879 --> 00:18:34,345
In Auburn, New Hampshire,
403
00:18:34,414 --> 00:18:38,216
conservation officer Richard Crouse checks two suspicious ice fishermen
404
00:18:38,284 --> 00:18:39,384
on Lake Massabesic.
405
00:18:41,655 --> 00:18:42,387
Okay.
406
00:18:43,556 --> 00:18:44,622
Who's got the marijuana?
407
00:18:45,759 --> 00:18:47,491
-What's that? -Who's got the weed?
408
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,828
Looking inside to see if there are any ice fishing devices set out,
409
00:18:50,897 --> 00:18:54,732
I immediately started noticing an aroma of marijuana
410
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,902
coming from either the persons or inside the tent.
411
00:18:57,971 --> 00:18:59,170
Who's got the weed?
412
00:18:59,205 --> 00:19:00,471
Uh, nobody does.
413
00:19:01,975 --> 00:19:02,640
You do?
414
00:19:03,977 --> 00:19:04,709
All right.
415
00:19:04,777 --> 00:19:06,477
Mind tossing it out for me?
416
00:19:09,215 --> 00:19:10,081
Yeah.
417
00:19:11,985 --> 00:19:12,951
All right, is that it?
418
00:19:15,521 --> 00:19:16,721
All right, yeah.
419
00:19:16,789 --> 00:19:18,189
I appreciate it, okay.
420
00:19:18,257 --> 00:19:20,191
-We're cleaning up-- -Yeah, just clean on up.
421
00:19:20,259 --> 00:19:22,526
I'll head on back. Guys don't have any weapons on you, obviously.
422
00:19:22,595 --> 00:19:23,427
Okay.
423
00:19:23,496 --> 00:19:24,628
I appreciate you being honest with me.
424
00:19:24,698 --> 00:19:26,698
Okay? That goes a long ways with me.
425
00:19:26,633 --> 00:19:28,666
Um, I'll head back there.
426
00:19:28,602 --> 00:19:30,868
Do you have a driver's license right handy on you?
427
00:19:30,937 --> 00:19:33,071
All right, sweet. I'll meet you back there when you get all cleaned up.
428
00:19:34,006 --> 00:19:34,606
Thank you.
429
00:19:38,178 --> 00:19:42,513
Luckily, the guy was honest and gave me his marijuana, so...
430
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:55,960
Hey, it's 53. How are you?
431
00:19:56,763 --> 00:19:58,262
Can I get a New Hampshire 10-20?
432
00:19:59,099 --> 00:20:00,431
New Hampshire .
433
00:20:07,307 --> 00:20:10,608
Can you do a 12-20 fishing license check for that person?
434
00:20:16,516 --> 00:20:18,182
Okay, thank you very much.
435
00:20:18,251 --> 00:20:18,850
Appreciate it.
436
00:20:21,688 --> 00:20:23,221
The owner of the vehicle is all set.
437
00:20:25,157 --> 00:20:28,726
Now it just comes down to figuring out what to do with the weed.
438
00:20:28,662 --> 00:20:30,961
I like to reward honesty.
439
00:20:31,030 --> 00:20:33,398
But also, I don't like to reward possession of drugs.
440
00:20:36,202 --> 00:20:38,035
-Is this truck yours? -Yeah.
441
00:20:38,104 --> 00:20:39,236
So you do have a fishing license,
442
00:20:39,305 --> 00:20:41,038
I already checked that and you're all set there.
443
00:20:41,107 --> 00:20:44,342
So what I'm gonna do, since you were honest with me,
444
00:20:44,410 --> 00:20:45,410
I'll just write you a warning
445
00:20:45,478 --> 00:20:46,477
for the possession of marijuana.
446
00:20:46,546 --> 00:20:47,578
All right.
447
00:20:47,647 --> 00:20:49,446
I don't see the point in tripping you all up.
448
00:20:49,516 --> 00:20:52,049
As long as that's not the only weed.
449
00:20:52,118 --> 00:20:53,684
-Is that the only weed you have? -That's all I have.
450
00:20:53,620 --> 00:20:55,286
-Honestly, I promise. -Okay.
451
00:20:55,221 --> 00:20:57,154
And as far as you, why'd you lie?
452
00:20:57,223 --> 00:20:58,856
Well, I don't have anything on me.
453
00:20:58,925 --> 00:21:00,357
You were asking me where it was,
454
00:21:00,226 --> 00:21:01,825
and, like, we don't have anything on us.
455
00:21:01,895 --> 00:21:05,096
Like, what you took was just whatever he had left.
456
00:21:05,031 --> 00:21:06,097
But it was weed, right?
457
00:21:06,198 --> 00:21:09,266
Well, yeah, but I didn't know he had kept that.
458
00:21:09,335 --> 00:21:11,468
Okay, I don't want to, like, argue with you about it.
459
00:21:11,337 --> 00:21:13,537
He's not even getting a ticket for it 'cause he was honest.
460
00:21:13,606 --> 00:21:15,106
-Yeah. -Okay? That's all.
461
00:21:15,174 --> 00:21:17,775
In terms of fish and game, these two are really squared away.
462
00:21:17,844 --> 00:21:22,146
In terms of the marijuana, the gentleman who fessed up and gave me his marijuana
463
00:21:22,214 --> 00:21:24,381
is gonna walk away with a warning.
464
00:21:24,450 --> 00:21:26,550
They only had a small portion of marijuana,
465
00:21:26,619 --> 00:21:30,754
so I just did a quick check on the eyes of the individual that was gonna be driving
466
00:21:30,724 --> 00:21:33,191
and didn't show any signs or symptoms
467
00:21:33,126 --> 00:21:36,527
of having any type of intoxication level.
468
00:21:36,595 --> 00:21:39,163
All right, guys. Well, have fun, okay?
469
00:21:39,231 --> 00:21:41,265
You guys need any help loading anything, or are you guys good?
470
00:21:41,234 --> 00:21:43,534
- No. Do appreciate that, though. -All right, guys.
471
00:21:43,602 --> 00:21:46,403
Stay safe. Thank you.
472
00:21:46,472 --> 00:21:48,606
They were just a couple of guys fishing, trying to have a good time.
473
00:21:48,541 --> 00:21:52,877
Unfortunately, they did have marijuana in their possession so I addressed it.
474
00:21:52,945 --> 00:21:54,846
But lucky for them, they were honest,
475
00:21:54,914 --> 00:21:56,881
and honesty goes a million miles with me
476
00:21:56,949 --> 00:21:59,050
and I showed that today by giving them a warning.
477
00:22:10,830 --> 00:22:12,963
Today we're getting another opportunity
478
00:22:13,032 --> 00:22:16,200
to promote a well-deserving officer, Kevin Bronson,
479
00:22:16,269 --> 00:22:19,604
to fill a vacant supervisor's position, so it's a good day.
480
00:22:22,242 --> 00:22:23,874
Today's kind of surreal for me.
481
00:22:23,943 --> 00:22:26,277
I'm getting sworn in for the District 4 Sergeant.
482
00:22:26,212 --> 00:22:28,679
Really weird for me for leaving my patrol.
483
00:22:28,615 --> 00:22:30,647
Love the people in my patrol, love my patrol.
484
00:22:30,717 --> 00:22:33,184
But really excited at this opportunity.
485
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,352
So today it's my pleasure to announce
486
00:22:35,421 --> 00:22:37,255
the promotion of Conservation Officer Bronson
487
00:22:37,323 --> 00:22:39,724
to fill the vacant District 4 Sergeant's position
488
00:22:39,792 --> 00:22:40,924
for the Law Enforcement Division.
489
00:22:40,994 --> 00:22:42,526
A little background on Kevin.
490
00:22:42,462 --> 00:22:45,963
He came to New Hampshire Fish and Game in November of 2012,
491
00:22:46,031 --> 00:22:49,300
where he began his career as a New Hampshire Conservation Officer.
492
00:22:49,368 --> 00:22:51,035
While he was assigned in District 3,
493
00:22:51,103 --> 00:22:54,472
Kevin had become a reliable and valuable member of the district.
494
00:22:54,474 --> 00:22:57,141
He was always ready to step up to a good challeng
495
00:22:57,209 --> 00:22:59,844
Kevin had become He has always demonstrated his high level of energy
496
00:22:59,912 --> 00:23:02,379
and teamwork approach to getting things completed.
497
00:23:02,448 --> 00:23:04,782
He is a skilled and tenacious investigator,
498
00:23:04,851 --> 00:23:07,918
and I've received many letters and emails from his constituents
499
00:23:07,987 --> 00:23:11,122
complimenting the efforts of Officer Bronson in his patrol area.
500
00:23:11,057 --> 00:23:12,824
One such letter refers to Kevin
501
00:23:12,892 --> 00:23:15,459
as the ghost in the woods,
502
00:23:15,528 --> 00:23:19,130
my favorite, as he can turn up unexpectedly anywhere at any time.
503
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,867
So please join me, ladies and gentlemen,
504
00:23:22,935 --> 00:23:25,903
in congratulating Sergeant Kevin Bronson on his well-deserved promotion
505
00:23:25,972 --> 00:23:27,638
to the position of District 4's sergeant.
506
00:23:30,843 --> 00:23:33,844
Kevin, he's gonna be taking on some more responsibility.
507
00:23:33,913 --> 00:23:36,780
-I, state your name. -I, Kevin Bronson...
508
00:23:36,849 --> 00:23:40,084
He's taking over a supervisory position in District 4.
509
00:23:40,152 --> 00:23:42,853
So he'll kind of be my right-hand man.
510
00:23:42,922 --> 00:23:45,322
And when I'm off, he'll be in charge.
511
00:23:45,391 --> 00:23:47,658
And so we're pretty excited to have him in the district.
512
00:23:47,727 --> 00:23:49,727
-...in the best of my ability. -Congratulations.
513
00:23:49,795 --> 00:23:50,828
Thank you.
514
00:23:53,132 --> 00:23:55,266
What I'm hoping to bring to the sergeant's position
515
00:23:55,334 --> 00:23:57,134
is what I've brought to my patrol
516
00:23:57,203 --> 00:23:59,169
in Claremont Newport area.
517
00:23:59,238 --> 00:24:01,972
The people of that area knew they could rely on me
518
00:24:02,041 --> 00:24:03,907
to do the job that they asked me to do,
519
00:24:03,977 --> 00:24:05,542
and I'm hoping to be able to do that
520
00:24:05,611 --> 00:24:07,111
for the officers and the people
521
00:24:07,046 --> 00:24:08,846
that live within District 4.
522
00:24:08,914 --> 00:24:11,548
Thank you so much. Yeah. Thanks.
523
00:24:11,617 --> 00:24:13,984
I'm very excited for Kevin.
524
00:24:14,053 --> 00:24:16,254
He's worked hard in the short amount of time that he's been here.
525
00:24:16,322 --> 00:24:17,721
I think he's gonna do a great job
526
00:24:17,790 --> 00:24:19,857
and him and I are gonna work together for a long time hopefully.
527
00:24:28,034 --> 00:24:29,800
In Rockingham County, New Hampshire,
528
00:24:29,869 --> 00:24:31,869
Conservation Officer Richard Crouse
529
00:24:31,804 --> 00:24:33,771
responds to an animal call in Salem.
530
00:24:35,808 --> 00:24:37,174
This is Rich with Fish and Game.
531
00:24:38,244 --> 00:24:39,343
So what's going on?
532
00:25:08,874 --> 00:25:10,073
I get angry when people are like this
533
00:25:10,143 --> 00:25:12,776
and there's abte no reason for it.
534
00:25:12,845 --> 00:25:15,379
Trapping skunks this time of year is not against the law.
535
00:25:15,315 --> 00:25:17,814
They're considered nuisance wildlife in New Hampshire.
536
00:25:17,884 --> 00:25:20,317
It's just there is rules and regulations
537
00:25:20,386 --> 00:25:23,788
as far as tending traps after an animal has been caught.
538
00:25:23,856 --> 00:25:26,958
If you set a live trap, you need to tend that trap within 24 hours.
539
00:25:27,026 --> 00:25:28,159
If there's a live animal in it,
540
00:25:28,094 --> 00:25:30,962
you need to either euthanize it or let it go.
541
00:25:31,030 --> 00:25:32,830
It's that simple.
542
00:25:32,898 --> 00:25:34,999
We'll try to see if we can get ahold of her
543
00:25:34,934 --> 00:25:36,033
and we'll go from there.
544
00:25:38,104 --> 00:25:39,603
Thank you much. Bye.
545
00:25:42,674 --> 00:25:47,745
We have a landowner set a trap to catch a nuisance animal
546
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,948
and ended up catching a true nuisance animal, a skunk,
547
00:25:50,883 --> 00:25:54,118
and now she's basically being cruel to the animal
548
00:25:54,186 --> 00:25:56,387
by not letting it go or euthanizing it.
549
00:25:59,459 --> 00:26:01,491
Salem ACO, Corey.
550
00:26:01,561 --> 00:26:04,829
Questions reference skunk in a trap for a few days in Salem.
551
00:26:07,900 --> 00:26:09,467
Hey, is this Corey?
552
00:26:10,469 --> 00:26:11,869
Hey, Corey, this is Rich with Fish and Game.
553
00:26:17,944 --> 00:26:22,780
I received a call from the Animal Control Officer in Salem about the same skunk.
554
00:26:22,715 --> 00:26:24,448
She's received numerous reports
555
00:26:24,517 --> 00:26:25,949
over the past couple days
556
00:26:26,018 --> 00:26:27,551
that there's a skunk in distress.
557
00:26:54,447 --> 00:26:57,148
Okay. I can head that way.
558
00:26:57,216 --> 00:26:58,949
But if they're gonna give us a hard time about it,
559
00:26:59,018 --> 00:27:00,884
we can charge 'em failing to tend a trap.
560
00:27:00,953 --> 00:27:02,219
I'm not playing around with it.
561
00:27:11,697 --> 00:27:12,363
Okay.
562
00:27:14,833 --> 00:27:16,167
All right, I can handle it.
563
00:27:17,303 --> 00:27:18,436
All right. Thank you.
564
00:27:19,305 --> 00:27:20,304
Bye.
565
00:27:22,708 --> 00:27:24,708
That's ridiculous.
566
00:27:24,776 --> 00:27:26,243
Let's go be cruel to freaking animals
567
00:27:26,311 --> 00:27:28,578
'cause I'm too lazy to turn it loose, huh?
568
00:27:28,648 --> 00:27:30,281
Th is an issue involving a skunk
569
00:27:30,349 --> 00:27:32,082
that's been in a trap for too long.
570
00:27:32,151 --> 00:27:35,352
It's been there multiple days when it should have only been there for less than a day.
571
00:27:35,421 --> 00:27:37,021
So I'm gonna head that way
572
00:27:36,956 --> 00:27:38,555
and I'm gonna talk to the landowner
573
00:27:38,624 --> 00:27:42,292
and we're gonna come to some sort of a solution and get this taken care of.
574
00:27:42,361 --> 00:27:44,728
At this point, I really don't know what I'm going to.
575
00:27:44,797 --> 00:27:46,430
Seems as though the Animal Control Officer
576
00:27:46,498 --> 00:27:47,965
had a lot of issues with the landowner.
577
00:27:47,900 --> 00:27:50,667
I could be kind of coming into a person who just doesn't want me there,
578
00:27:50,736 --> 00:27:54,738
but ultimately I just want the animal to be let go or euthanized,
579
00:27:54,807 --> 00:27:55,906
one or the other.
580
00:28:10,356 --> 00:28:11,889
In Salem, New Hampshire,
581
00:28:11,957 --> 00:28:13,857
Conservation Officer Richard Crouse
582
00:28:13,926 --> 00:28:15,458
prepares to confront a homeowner
583
00:28:15,528 --> 00:28:18,829
who has reportedly kept a skunk in a trap for multiple days.
584
00:28:25,338 --> 00:28:26,604
I let him go.
585
00:28:26,539 --> 00:28:27,872
-You let him go? -I let him go.
586
00:28:27,940 --> 00:28:28,972
-Okay. - He's gone.
587
00:28:29,041 --> 00:28:31,342
The gentleman answered the door
588
00:28:31,410 --> 00:28:34,278
and he immediately saw me and knew why I was there
589
00:28:34,213 --> 00:28:37,881
and he looked as though he was pretty defeated.
590
00:28:37,950 --> 00:28:39,483
He understood he did some wrong.
591
00:28:39,418 --> 00:28:41,352
So what's going on?
592
00:28:41,287 --> 00:28:44,154
I've gotten three calls about it in an hour. So what's happening?
593
00:28:44,090 --> 00:28:45,889
We caught a skunk.
594
00:28:45,825 --> 00:28:48,825
We didn't know-- We wanted to get rid of him. We wanted to move him off the property.
595
00:28:48,894 --> 00:28:51,562
The cop lady came, said you couldn't do that.
596
00:28:51,630 --> 00:28:53,163
She said I had to let him go, so I let him go.
597
00:28:53,232 --> 00:28:54,899
I let him out over there.
598
00:28:54,967 --> 00:28:56,767
You want to check it out, the cage is empty over there.
599
00:28:56,835 --> 00:28:58,202
Okay. How long was he in the trap?
600
00:28:58,270 --> 00:29:00,003
-Couple days. -Okay.
601
00:29:00,072 --> 00:29:03,340
-So here's the rules. Okay? -I know the rules now.
602
00:29:03,408 --> 00:29:07,577
Okay, so she explained to you that every 24 hours you need to tend those traps?
603
00:29:07,647 --> 00:29:09,379
-Yeah. -Okay, if it's a live trap, which is what that is--
604
00:29:09,448 --> 00:29:11,114
Yeah, we're not gonna do it again. It was a mistake.
605
00:29:11,183 --> 00:29:14,584
At this point, the gentleman understands that what he did was wrong.
606
00:29:14,654 --> 00:29:18,255
So he's taking some sort of acceptance of his actions.
607
00:29:18,191 --> 00:29:19,856
Okay.
608
00:29:19,925 --> 00:29:23,627
I just want to explain what you guys could go up against if this happens again.
609
00:29:23,563 --> 00:29:25,996
Obviously, not tending a trap. Okay?
610
00:29:25,965 --> 00:29:27,397
I don't believe it's gonna happen again.
611
00:29:27,466 --> 00:29:28,732
It isn't gonna happen again.
612
00:29:28,801 --> 00:29:30,401
I think you guys have dealt with enough today.
613
00:29:30,336 --> 00:29:33,003
Yeah. You can take a look if you want. It's gone.
614
00:29:33,071 --> 00:29:35,005
-Yeah. Okay. -The cage is empty on the side of the house.
615
00:29:34,941 --> 00:29:37,073
So I appreciate you guys taking care of it.
616
00:29:37,143 --> 00:29:38,876
I know it's a stinky job to do.
617
00:29:38,811 --> 00:29:41,278
But this could have all been avoided.
618
00:29:41,347 --> 00:29:42,946
- Yeah, I know. I understand. -Okay.
619
00:29:42,882 --> 00:29:44,882
So do you have a driver's license on you?
620
00:29:44,817 --> 00:29:46,817
Thank you. I'll just take a photo of it
621
00:29:46,885 --> 00:29:49,452
and make sure I document that I spoke to you about it.
622
00:29:49,522 --> 00:29:51,821
-Sure. -And it was your wife, right,
623
00:29:51,891 --> 00:29:54,191
who has this as her residence, right?
624
00:29:54,260 --> 00:29:55,392
-Yeah. -Okay.
625
00:29:55,461 --> 00:29:58,194
So I'm gonna do a written warning for her, okay,
626
00:29:58,264 --> 00:30:01,031
for failing to tend a trap within 24 hours.
627
00:30:00,967 --> 00:30:04,301
Okay? That's gonna be the one and only warning that I give out for this.
628
00:30:04,370 --> 00:30:07,103
-Okay. -Typically this is a ticket every time.
629
00:30:07,173 --> 00:30:07,905
-Okay? -Okay.
630
00:30:07,973 --> 00:30:09,372
So we'll just call this education
631
00:30:09,442 --> 00:30:11,074
and I'm just happy that the animal's gone.
632
00:30:11,143 --> 00:30:13,377
Yep, he's gone. I saw him scurry off over there.
633
00:30:13,445 --> 00:30:14,578
Perfect. All right.
634
00:30:14,513 --> 00:30:16,313
Well, that should be the end of it, then.
635
00:30:16,249 --> 00:30:18,282
- All right. Thank you. -Thank you. Okay, have a safe day.
636
00:30:20,519 --> 00:30:23,487
This gentleman understands his actions were wrong,
637
00:30:23,555 --> 00:30:26,090
and I don't think we'll have an issue with this in the future.
638
00:30:47,846 --> 00:30:49,045
Hey.
639
00:30:56,355 --> 00:30:56,987
Okay.
640
00:31:00,092 --> 00:31:01,358
Okay. That sounds good.
641
00:31:01,426 --> 00:31:02,859
In Antrim, New Hampshire,
642
00:31:02,928 --> 00:31:06,129
Conservation Officer Nick Masucci heads to Bald Mountain
643
00:31:06,198 --> 00:31:07,931
to meet up with Sergeant Kevin Bronson
644
00:31:07,999 --> 00:31:10,066
for a search and rescue operation.
645
00:31:10,068 --> 00:31:11,602
Just so you know,
646
00:31:11,537 --> 00:31:14,037
I've never been up this trail before so I'll try and figure it out though.
647
00:31:13,973 --> 00:31:15,239
You know what he's got for a vehicle?
648
00:31:18,177 --> 00:31:19,310
Oh, good. Okay.
649
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:22,313
All right. Sounds good.
650
00:31:23,349 --> 00:31:25,582
All right. Bye.
651
00:31:25,651 --> 00:31:29,552
Kevin Bronson just giving me an update on the 65-year-old hiker
652
00:31:29,622 --> 00:31:32,289
over by Willard Pond up on Bald Mountain.
653
00:31:32,224 --> 00:31:34,591
He's passing in and out of consciousness.
654
00:31:34,659 --> 00:31:37,394
He's, I think, about a mile up the trail.
655
00:31:37,463 --> 00:31:38,662
So we're gonna go over there
656
00:31:38,597 --> 00:31:41,331
and see if we can give him a hand, get him down.
657
00:32:07,826 --> 00:32:09,460
How's it going?
658
00:32:09,528 --> 00:32:11,695
Do we know if we're carrying him out or are we walking him down?
659
00:32:17,636 --> 00:32:18,569
Up here?
660
00:32:24,443 --> 00:32:25,109
Okay.
661
00:32:26,278 --> 00:32:27,111
Okay.
662
00:32:34,019 --> 00:32:34,985
Okay.
663
00:32:36,489 --> 00:32:37,721
How many people?
664
00:32:38,723 --> 00:32:39,456
Okay.
665
00:32:42,027 --> 00:32:42,993
Yeah.
666
00:32:44,229 --> 00:32:44,828
Yeah.
667
00:32:48,500 --> 00:32:49,633
Okay.
668
00:32:49,701 --> 00:32:51,435
All right, I'll strip down, start heading up there, so...
669
00:32:51,370 --> 00:32:52,569
Thanks.
670
00:32:54,974 --> 00:32:56,740
Just putting on some micro-spikes
671
00:32:56,808 --> 00:32:59,676
just for some better grip on the snow and the ice.
672
00:33:02,948 --> 00:33:04,248
We're trying to get up there quick,
673
00:33:04,183 --> 00:33:06,083
make sure he's awake, he's alive,
674
00:33:06,151 --> 00:33:08,118
and see if we can get him out of here as quick as we can.
675
00:33:24,537 --> 00:33:26,069
In Antrim, New Hampshire,
676
00:33:26,137 --> 00:33:28,338
Sergeant Kevin Bronson arrives at the scene
677
00:33:28,407 --> 00:33:30,674
of a search and rescue mission on Bald Mountain.
678
00:33:30,742 --> 00:33:31,674
- Hello. - Hey.
679
00:33:31,744 --> 00:33:33,576
It's pretty typical in a situation like this
680
00:33:33,646 --> 00:33:37,080
that fire personnel are there before we are
681
00:33:37,016 --> 00:33:39,749
'cause they are much closer than we are normally.
682
00:33:39,818 --> 00:33:42,653
So it's kind of nice to see that the ball's been rolling already.
683
00:33:42,721 --> 00:33:45,121
-It sounds like there's quite a few people. -Yeah.
684
00:33:45,190 --> 00:33:47,691
So you don't need more from our end, you don't think?
685
00:33:57,002 --> 00:33:58,268
Yeah.
686
00:33:58,337 --> 00:34:02,639
Looks like we have plenty of people to accomplish this rescue.
687
00:34:02,708 --> 00:34:06,343
So Officer Hannett and I are gonna head up trail and meet Officer Masucci
688
00:34:06,411 --> 00:34:09,079
who's already on scene, headed towards the victim.
689
00:34:09,147 --> 00:34:13,082
So we're gonna join forces and get this done.
690
00:34:13,152 --> 00:34:14,484
How's it going, guys? - Great.
691
00:34:14,553 --> 00:34:16,786
Good. You guys just volunteers or are you guys hiking as well?
692
00:34:16,855 --> 00:34:19,022
No, we're hiking. We're part of the group though.
693
00:34:19,091 --> 00:34:20,423
Does he have any medical history?
694
00:34:20,492 --> 00:34:23,360
I mean, what really led up to him going in and out?
695
00:34:23,295 --> 00:34:25,195
He felt winded when he got to the top,
696
00:34:25,264 --> 00:34:27,297
and he said, "You know, I'm gonna have to stop here and rest."
697
00:34:27,233 --> 00:34:30,434
And he sat down and then all of a sudden I saw him lay back
698
00:34:30,502 --> 00:34:31,702
and then he didn't wake up right away.
699
00:34:31,637 --> 00:34:33,236
We tried to wake him up and he didn't wake up.
700
00:34:33,305 --> 00:34:35,104
- Okay. -And then, you know,
701
00:34:35,174 --> 00:34:38,308
then he said, "I'm gonna try to sit back up again, I was just taking a nap."
702
00:34:38,377 --> 00:34:40,444
And then he went back down again and passed out again.
703
00:34:40,379 --> 00:34:41,979
-Okay. -And that's when he--
704
00:34:42,047 --> 00:34:45,549
My husband got behind him, got him sitting up, and we called 911.
705
00:34:45,484 --> 00:34:47,084
Okay. So...
706
00:34:47,152 --> 00:34:49,819
Well, I'm glad that you guys were hiking with him. So that was definitely good.
707
00:34:49,888 --> 00:34:50,821
Yeah.
708
00:34:50,889 --> 00:34:52,422
I've just gotten to the litter
709
00:34:52,491 --> 00:34:54,124
and it looks like the patient is stable
710
00:34:54,192 --> 00:34:56,627
and there's a lot of people, a lot of helping hands.
711
00:34:56,695 --> 00:34:57,928
So at this point,
712
00:34:57,996 --> 00:35:00,330
our main goal is to get out of the woods safely.
713
00:35:00,398 --> 00:35:02,432
Keep him up. We're gonna pass him over these rocks.
714
00:35:02,501 --> 00:35:04,901
One, two, three.
715
00:35:04,970 --> 00:35:06,136
Keep him up.
716
00:35:08,240 --> 00:35:09,773
Having more people to carry
717
00:35:09,841 --> 00:35:12,675
really makes it so carriers aren't getting fatigued,
718
00:35:12,745 --> 00:35:15,912
getting injured, and that's ultimately, from my perspective,
719
00:35:15,848 --> 00:35:18,882
the most important thing is that we're not causing more injuries.
720
00:35:20,385 --> 00:35:22,853
Keep walking straight. Good. All right.
721
00:35:29,294 --> 00:35:30,427
You all right?
722
00:35:35,267 --> 00:35:37,467
-I got it. -Good, good.
723
00:35:38,436 --> 00:35:40,771
-Come on. -How you doing?
724
00:35:43,008 --> 00:35:44,441
All right, we got to set him down.
725
00:35:44,376 --> 00:35:45,942
Yeah, go ahead. Let's set him down.
726
00:35:46,011 --> 00:35:48,679
So we have carried the victim off the mountain
727
00:35:48,747 --> 00:35:51,715
and now we're running parallel to a frozen lake.
728
00:35:51,783 --> 00:35:57,187
As of right now, we can either slide the victim across the frozen lake
729
00:35:57,022 --> 00:35:59,489
or we can continue on the trail,
730
00:35:59,557 --> 00:36:03,293
so I'm gonna consult the fire team and we're gonna make a plan.
731
00:36:03,361 --> 00:36:05,829
We got to go ahead and try and plan out our route, so...
732
00:36:05,897 --> 00:36:06,963
What are you thinking of it?
733
00:36:07,032 --> 00:36:08,965
You guys know this pond probably better than I do.
734
00:36:08,901 --> 00:36:11,735
The benefit of pulling this individual over the ice is that
735
00:36:11,803 --> 00:36:16,640
it would go much quicker and save a lot of people possible injury,
736
00:36:16,708 --> 00:36:19,309
because with the ice, we could just slide him very easily,
737
00:36:19,377 --> 00:36:20,777
but on the trail, it's very small,
738
00:36:20,713 --> 00:36:24,547
there's rocks and more likelihood of injuring a rescuer.
739
00:36:24,616 --> 00:36:28,051
But being the uncertain winter that we've had with varying temperatures,
740
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:33,089
we're not really sure how deep the ice is on the lake right now.
741
00:36:34,293 --> 00:36:35,959
Maybe the weakest point.
742
00:36:39,365 --> 00:36:42,065
-How much do you weight? -210.
743
00:36:42,167 --> 00:36:45,201
So I'm 150 right here. We haven't broken through yet.
744
00:36:45,270 --> 00:36:46,336
No.
745
00:36:46,404 --> 00:36:48,171
Let's play it safe and let's stay on the trail.
746
00:36:48,240 --> 00:36:50,474
- Okay? - Okay. Yep. Sounds like a plan.
747
00:36:52,177 --> 00:36:55,245
Ultimately, as a team, because that's what we are,
748
00:36:55,313 --> 00:36:57,480
we've decided that we're gonna stick to the trail.
749
00:36:57,549 --> 00:36:59,449
One, two.
750
00:37:00,686 --> 00:37:03,987
At this point, the risk didn't outweigh the reward.
751
00:37:04,055 --> 00:37:06,556
The patient is stable, we have time,
752
00:37:06,492 --> 00:37:08,058
there's plenty of daylight left
753
00:37:08,126 --> 00:37:09,993
so we're gonna carry through the trail.
754
00:37:11,697 --> 00:37:12,863
Good job, guys.
755
00:37:14,365 --> 00:37:16,366
You're gonna want to watch the open spots.
756
00:37:17,569 --> 00:37:19,870
Slow and steady wins the race.
757
00:37:37,823 --> 00:37:40,256
One, two, three.
758
00:37:40,325 --> 00:37:42,291
Good job, guys.
759
00:37:42,361 --> 00:37:44,127
In New Hampshire's White Mountains,
760
00:37:44,063 --> 00:37:46,930
Sergeant Kevin Bronson, along with Conservation Officers
761
00:37:46,998 --> 00:37:48,798
Eric Hannett and Nick Masucci,
762
00:37:48,867 --> 00:37:51,300
team up with local firefighters and EMTs
763
00:37:51,370 --> 00:37:54,671
to carry an injured hiker down Bald Mountain Trail.
764
00:37:54,606 --> 00:37:56,673
So, as a group, we decided it's probably gonna be safer
765
00:37:56,741 --> 00:37:59,476
to take the individual down the trail rather than cross the ice.
766
00:37:59,544 --> 00:38:01,644
We don't want to risk him or any others falling through the ice.
767
00:38:01,713 --> 00:38:04,281
Slow and steady wins the race.
768
00:38:13,091 --> 00:38:15,759
I just look up and looks like somebody just fell through the ice.
769
00:38:15,827 --> 00:38:17,160
Stay right there.
770
00:38:19,964 --> 00:38:22,933
Roll left. To your left.
771
00:38:22,868 --> 00:38:25,635
I look up and right in inlet of the lake,
772
00:38:25,704 --> 00:38:29,172
which is the thinnest part of the ice on the lake,
773
00:38:29,240 --> 00:38:31,475
one of our camera guys is in the water.
774
00:38:35,614 --> 00:38:36,946
One of them is.
775
00:38:37,015 --> 00:38:38,447
- That one? - Yeah.
776
00:38:38,517 --> 00:38:42,619
Luckily where he fell through was not deep at all.
777
00:38:42,687 --> 00:38:45,155
He was able to stand, so he's gonna be fine
778
00:38:45,090 --> 00:38:47,423
and we're gonna get him out of here and warm
779
00:38:47,492 --> 00:38:49,225
and we're gonna continue with our rescue.
780
00:38:49,294 --> 00:38:51,594
So we're gonna lift him through the pinch point.
781
00:38:51,663 --> 00:38:53,330
We're gonna place people on either side.
782
00:38:53,398 --> 00:38:55,732
Soon as we get through this pinch point,
783
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:57,867
set him back down, everybody regroup,
784
00:38:57,936 --> 00:39:00,170
'cause there's more carrying to be done.
785
00:39:00,238 --> 00:39:03,273
And it gets a little rockier after that.
786
00:39:03,208 --> 00:39:04,875
We made the right decision
787
00:39:04,943 --> 00:39:07,109
by taking the injured hiker over land
788
00:39:07,179 --> 00:39:08,478
rather than on the ice.
789
00:39:08,547 --> 00:39:10,413
The trail's really rocky right now,
790
00:39:10,482 --> 00:39:12,782
but hopefully soon we'll be able to slide this person
791
00:39:12,851 --> 00:39:15,218
down the trail with less rocks.
792
00:39:15,287 --> 00:39:17,654
All right, guys, take your time, don't hurt yourself.
793
00:39:17,589 --> 00:39:18,588
All right, you guys ready?
794
00:39:18,657 --> 00:39:20,723
One, two, three, lift.
795
00:39:20,792 --> 00:39:22,392
You there and somebody there, right?
796
00:39:25,264 --> 00:39:27,464
Good job, guys. Nice and easy.
797
00:39:28,433 --> 00:39:30,467
If anybody's getting tired, just say so.
798
00:39:33,338 --> 00:39:35,639
Excellent. Start the pass.
798
00:39:36,305 --> 00:40:36,451
