North Woods Law NH Preview
 

Looking forward to it. I enjoyed watching the previous seasons so I think this one will be better as I should be able to recognize many areas.

I am too. The only problem I have with those channels is it is so hard to figure out when a particular program is going to be on. So I hope if anybody knows, they remind us. I have done a schedule check before, but you have to have some idea of when to look.

So this is supposed to run on Animal Planet, there is no broadcast schedule for this anywhere on their web page yet. Wild guess this may being airing in the spring/summer?

I wonder what this guy is pointing his gun at?

aim
 

I would say that the cameraman is safe, but the sound guy might be in trouble...

I just cant wait to see someone I know getting busted:laugh::laugh::laugh:

Did they film on the lake?
 

Does anyone know if they filmed on the lake with Marine Patrol for any episodes? Late this past summer I happened to catch a glance of one of the MP boats near Christmas Island with 3 or 4 men on board and I am certain one of them had a large camera...

I loved the previous episodes shot in Maine. I can't wait for the NH episodes!

The old ones were on Sunday night I believe. If you have a DVR player once you find it, you can just set it up to do a series recording and it tapes all the new ones for you hassle free.

Sooooo, who do you know that poaches?

Fess up, and we'll go easier on you.:laugh:

They pulled plenty of boats and snowmobilers over in Maine so I assume the same will be true with the NH show.

Marine Patrol
 

That was probably the "Behind the Badge" series NH1 did on NHSP. I think the second episode was about Marine Patrol bureau.

"North Woods Law’ reality show leaves Maine for New Hampshire

The Maine version of the show stirred controversy after a Portland Press Herald report suggested the show's television cameras influenced the warden service's response to a poaching sting.

Within the article
Gov. Paul LePage said he played a role in ending the show, saying he didn’t think it gave the state a good image.

The State of Maine patrols it lakes and rivers differently than New Hampshire.

This new show for New Hampshire might not have anything to do with Marine Patrol and the Department of Safety.

The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department has a totally different mission.

Granted they can call upon each others resources when needed, but they are actually two different entities in New Hampshire. In Maine they fall under one greater umbrella (for lack of a better term) called the "Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife".

In New Hampshire you will "almost" never see Marine Patrol enforcing Fish and Game regulations unless called upon to assist and visa versa.

When is it going to be shown on Animal Planet?

From newhampshire.com / December 23 2016

"The trailer teased viewers with a “coming soon” label for the new season, but the date of the debut has yet to be announced."

"Engel Entertainment approached New Hampshire Fish and Game in April 2015 to see if the agency had interest in participating in a potential series. The state and the production company worked out a deal and the Executive Council approved the contract in January. Filming in the Granite State began in May."

Just because they are filming does not necessarily mean you will ever see it soon. The production company has to sell it first to Animal Planet. Production and distribution are 2 different things. But my guess would be this fall. Most of these shows take about a year or so to get on the air after filming begins.

Any winter scenes are probably being filmed right about now.

Looks like the premiere will be March 5th.

A little blurb / reminder on WMUR this morning about the premier episode this weekend. Sunday night at 9pm


Wonder what the first episode is going to be about. Are we going to see any forum members getting a citation ? :D

Thats C.O. Lucas, he is a good dude.

Young kids catching crayfish on Lake Winnipesaukee :) Hundreds rounded up and taken into custody. :laugh:

Roundup
 

Kids or crayfish?

I was wondering if that stunt those guys pulled with the waterskiing/sled through the channel the other day will make an episode since the F&G did investigate. Seems like the perfect kind of thing to air on one of these shows.

Spotted this on line about the titles of the first three shows. The second show has a little more info about it.

What we (re-) learned from the first episode...
 

Have your fishing license.
Have your atv registered.
Leave skunks and bears to the professionals.
If you are on the water, fluid or frozen, wear a freakin' PFD.

Yeah, I know, you don't want to " 'cus FREEDOM!", or you swim like a fish, or you think you're indestructible. Until you're in the water headed for the bottom...
...and causing a multi-day, multi-officer recovery effort just because you are an idiot.

I liked the first one. Shows you how quickly things can go from a good time to a tragedy.

Love it. I didn't expect it to have anything much different than Maine but it's our NH!

Loved seeing NH on TV with no presidential candidates. How did they do that?

Secret Service is good with skunks? I mean after all they protect politicians and they all stink! ;)

That first episode was excellent, but man it was heartbreaking. Both my son and I had tears welling up.

North Woods Law - NH Continues
 

Episode One repeats at 7:00PM tonight and the next episode follows later this evening. 🐻

Snake in the Grass
 

Just watched the second episode of North Woods Law - NH. Did not know that there are timber rattlesnakes still dwelling in the Granite State. 🐍

About 10 years ago timber rattlesnakes were discussed before.
https://www.winnipesaukee.com/forums...ead.php?t=4350


Don't get nervous no plans to do this in New Hampshire, (yet) but have seen articles that the presence of rattlesnakes was how our "Winni Rattlesnake Island" got its name.

I agree. That thing was pretty nasty in my opinion....I would not want to run into that out there.

My home town of Glastonbury CT was supposedly thick with timber rattlers.

In my twenty years there I saw exactly ZERO.

... prohibited exotic animals?
 

With reference to a very small, about one foot long, 'pet' alligator that was confiscated from two 20-somethings, a man and a woman, from their home in Jaffrey, NH: In the March 12 episode, a NH F&G officer said the F&G gets a lot of their not-allowed, exotic animal leads, including this small alligator, from Facebook, and social media postings where people like to share photos of their prohibited pets such as alligators and maybe bear cubs.

So, if you are thinking about keeping a camel out in the barn.....maybe you want to just stick with a donkey. Besides, I've heard that donkeys get scared by the smell of a camel.......like, what is this smell......n-n-n-n-neighhhhhhhh.......snoooorttttt ......(donkey here) :eek:? But, like who knows.....just maybe, unlike an alligator, a camel is welcome here in New Hampshire?

Agreed I don't understand why there is a big fuss to increase their population. I have yet to meet any snake I liked.

There is a camel, or dromedary, whatever it is with two humps, resides on a farm on rte 28 in Alton. He seems to enjoy the New England weather.

Facebook, As long as stupid people stay stupid we all benefit. Imagine trying to raise an alligator? A big dog is enough work.

North Woods Law - NH Continues
 

The second episode repeats tonight at 7:00 and a new episode airs at 9:00. 🐻

I think they have all been pretty good so far. Interesting to see the things that go on.

Manhunt
 

Tonight's Episode Titled "Manhunt"

Officer Glen Lucas races to the scene of an ATV accident; a home is broken into so Officers Bill Boudreau and Eric Hannett assist police in tracking the suspect; Officer Bob Mancini tries to save the life of an injured loon.

Is this the episode you have been waiting for? :D

Nothwoods Law-NH Continues
 

The fourth episode is on at 9:00PM tonight. 🐻

My DVR says tonight at 9 is episode 5.

Why have the droped the which State each Episode is for ?
 

Have you noticed the they no longer note the episode are the New Hampshire Episode?

They do not denote either State.

I have not watched enough to be familiar with the Names of the NH Officers to know who is who.

The rerun at 7 wasn't NH??

The state is clearly marked on the trucks they drive.... lol, just being a SA.

One of my friends was lucky enough to be on Maine and potentially NH at the sea coast. He's not sure if he made the cut. They told him in advance for Maine, so maybe he didn't make the double.

Wow, so lets all go to Maine and break the law :) LOL JK

North Woods Law-NH Continues
 

Another episode airs tonight at 9:00. �� ��

All NH Episodes Tonight

North Woods Law NH
 

Just started watching it. Thanks.

I think tonight is the season finale already.

Yup last episode tonight!
Ron Arsenault from Alton will be on tonight!!

WMUR Had a brief news blurb that they have new episodes starting this weekend?

Was only half listening/watching while getting ready for work. Wondering what the new shows will feature during this season.

I talked with a F&G officer this summer, he said there should be some winter footage this time around however; the film crew apparently doesn't like the cold (probably some yuppie tree huggers from California) anyways, if you watched the Maine north woods law every time they filmed in the winter they mostly did it from the front seat of a vehicle, intersection or side of the road.

I'm glad it will be on again. I enjoy watching it.

I happened to be at the Meredith docks admiring one of the new all aluminum MP patrol boats parked there - if you haven't seen one up close they are impressively made. Anyways another MP pulls up and ties up in front of the new one and we got to chatting. He said the NWL film crew had been out several days with MP so quite possible there will be footage of that in the up and coming episodes.

Interesting considering that the MP is part of the state police not the F&G.

Salmon fishing awhile back there was a MP boat in Meredith bay checking fishermen...I knew he'd get to me eventually so I made a wide turn so he could come alongside and when he did I started reeling my rods in and he said "no need, just keep moving and hold up your license"
When I held my license up for him to see I noticed there was a cameraman filming me in his boat...not sure if I'll make a show or be edited out but they were certainly out there filming!

You sure it was Marine Patrol and not a Fish & Game boat! Never heard of Marine Patrol checking fishing licenses....

Dan

NH Marine patrol will be on NH Chronical on Thursday night on channel 9.

Oops...you are correct! It was Fish and Game....

WMUR Had a brief news blurb that they have a new episode airing tonight.

They (WMUR) also (mentioned / interviewed) that C.O. Lucas would be featured in this new episode.

Some info. Season 3, Episode 1
http://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/north...ntrol/1047459/

They had a launch party this week down in Hooksett. A lot of the F&G officers were in attendance. It’s cool to see them enjoying themselves. I enjoy the show.

I was not a fan of the Maine version but maybe its just the NH angle that I now will watch. Hauling a 280 lb deceased man off of Washington was quite a feat in an episode this weekend as an example.

Loon Sanctuary coverage
 

Great coverage of John Cooley of the Loon Sanctuary team (located in Moultonborough) tagging a loon (in Coos county as I recall). These folks work hard to preserve the iconic cry we all love in the night. Great to see them covered in the show.

That was pretty cool to see, but.... I was thinking to myself "should this be shown on TV?" I would never have known the best way to capture a loon had I not seen this on TV. Not that there are people trying to capture them, but still, some things are better left unsaid.

Capturing a loon by a nonprofessional would be very difficult. The biologists do this tagging every year. They do it to keep track of the loons and to study them. I watched Northwoods Law and i thought it was very acceptable to show it. I have been watching loons for over 60 years and I am so glad that The Loon Preservation Committee exists to save our loon population.
