Lt. John Nores is a retired 28-year special operations game warden, co-host of the Warden’s Watch podcast, and author of Hidden War: How Special Operations Game Wardens are Reclaiming America's Wildlands from the Drug Cartels. What We Discuss with Lt. John Nores: Even though cannabis is now legal in California, drug cartels operate massive, illegal trespass grow operations on public land across the state. Trespass grow operations cause long-lasting environmental damage, generate pollution, steal water and other resources from the communities where they're raised. 6,000-10,000 people are employed by the cartels to establish and maintain these sites. Nearby residents who happen to cross paths with these criminals — even on their own property — are in danger of being assaulted or killed with little to no legal repercussions. DEA and game wardens who monitor this activity have the highest risk of death in the line of duty among law enforcement. And much more...

Lt. John Nores, Jr. (now retired) grew up duck hunting in California. He was still a young game warden when accidentally stumbling into his first illegal marijuana grow in the heavily wooded outskirts of California civilization.  His career remainder was defined by Marijuana Eradication Taskforce investigations throughout California.   The scope of illegal grows in California and throughout the entire United States is staggering, generating cash-crop sales exponentially greater than the sum of wheat and corn sales combined.  Societal costs are steep: America's public lands are being decimated. Hazardous wastes, unregulated resource depletion and wildlife habitat loss are ugly by-products. And cartels send only their best growers illegally across the US border, where they're heavily armed against intruders. For reasons Lt. Nores explains, legalization has possibly only made this problem worse.   Related:  John Nores website http://www.johnnores.com   Podcast Sponsors: BOSS Shotshells https://bossshotshells.com/ Benelli Shotguns https://www.benelliusa.com/shotguns/waterfowl-shotguns Tetra Hearing https://tetrahearing.com/ Ducks Unlimited https://www.ducks.org Mojo Outdoors https://www.mojooutdoors.com/p Tom Beckbe https://tombeckbe.com/ Flash Back Decoys https://www.duckcreekdecoys.com/ Voormi https://voormi.com/ GetDucks.com USHuntList.com     It really is duck season somewhere for 365 days per year.

On this episode, Dennis speaks with Best Selling Author, National Speaker and Thin Green Line Warrior, John Nores. John, a California native, grew up in a small town in rural Santa Clara County. The eldest of four, he and his brothers and sister (the wolf pack as their mom coined them) developed a love for nature and the outdoors at an early age. He initially began college with the goal of becoming a civil engineer but during winter break of his first semester, he fortuitously met a fish and game warden in the back country of Henry Coe State Park on a back-packing trip and was instantly inspired to become one himself.  Inspiration led to a certainty of purpose and as soon as he got back to school, he changed his major to Criminal Justice and began pursuing a career as a fish and game warden for the state of California. ​​John has a Master of Science degree from San Jose State University in Criminal Justice Administration (1998), a Bachelor of Science Degree (1990) from San Jose State University in that same discipline and was inducted into SJSU's Justice Studies Alumni Hall of Fame in November 2018.Hard work and diligence led John to a diverse career he held for three decades. Beginning in 1992, he was hired as a warden for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and retired in December of 2018 as a special operations lieutenant working directly at the state level, co-developing and leading his agency's elite tactical unit the Marijuana Enforcement Team (MET) and developed the CDFW's first sniper unit aimed at combatting the most environmentally damaging criminals working within California and impacting the nation.  The MET has been featured on Fox News, NBC Investigative Reports, CNN, Dan Rather Reports and highlighted on the Outdoor Channel's award-winning Patriot Profiles: Life of Duty documentary series.​John's induction into the San Jose State Justice Studies Hall of FameThroughout his years of service he was a field training officer for new cadets,  conducted statewide, national and international training in firearms, defensive tactics, high risk warrant and arrest tactics as well as basic and advanced sniper training programs with special operations personnel from the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office.  John was awarded the Governor's Medal of Valor for lifesaving and leadership efforts in 2007 and led allied agency dignitary protection details with the US Secret Service during the Obama administration. Today, Dennis and John discuss his time on the show "Wild Justice" on NAT Geo where California Game Wardens -- 240 in all -- patrol the state's 159,000 square miles, pursuing poachers, polluters and drug runners around the clock while making sure hunters and anglers follow the rules.

Listeners, welcome back! I'm so glad you're here. I'm really glad to have the opportunity to bring you today's episode, because it will be very educational to many on some very important issues that affect all of us. If I hadn't been introduced to today's guest, I don't know if I would have ever learned about the crucial work that K9s and humans are doing in his field of expertise. Now that I've learned about it, I'm honored to pass on the knowledge to you, and I hope that you will do the same and pass it on to the people in your world. Friends, I am someone who happens to absolutely relish being in the outdoors. I love camping and backpacking and going on hikes in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by nothing but nature, having an unobstructed view of the stars at night, walking along flowing streams and breathing in crisp, mountain air. Going on camping trips to national parks is one of my most cherished past times, as is hiking on public lands with my dog. If you share these passions with me, then this episode is for you. Maybe you're listening to this and thinking that camping and hiking sound like the last activities on earth that you'd ever want to do. But you're listening to this podcast, which is all about dogs, which means that in all likelihood, you're a dog lover, and if that's the case then you're probably an animal lover in general. I'd be willing to bet that if you're an animal lover, then you would be incensed if I told you that much of our wildlife…I'm talking about squirrels and rabbits but also bears, mountain lions, golden eagles, and the list goes on…are routinely poisoned in large numbers on our public lands. If you live in California like myself, then you've had it drilled into you how important it is to conserve water, because we have had some serious droughts in recent years. How angry would you be to learn to that billions of gallons of our water are stolen to line the pockets of violent criminals? Listeners, what I'm talking about is the situation we find ourselves in as Americans today – in a war for our environment, our wildlife, and our water – that most of us didn't even know we were fighting. My guest today is John Nores, who, according to his bio, served 26 years as a warden for the California Department of Fish & Wildlife and co-developed and lead his agency's elite tactical unit and sniper unit, which were developed to combat the most environmentally damaging criminals working within California and impacting the nation. He's going to tell us all about those criminals, what they're up to, why it matters, how dogs are integral to the fight against them, and how we can help. Find out more on John's website, in his books, the latest of which is Hidden War, on his podcasts, The Thin Green Line, and Warden's Watch, and on social media @johnnores. On this podcast, we seek to highlight the work being done by working dogs of all disciplines.

The Spaniard heard John Nores on some favorite podcasts and reached out. John's book ”Hidden War” describes the jaw-dropping ways that game wardens bravely combat black market cannabis grow sites that steal water and poison the surroundings with toxic pesticides. John became a game warden to protect wildlife and execute traditional tasks such as checking fishing licenses,  stopping poachers and teaching hunter safety. He and his colleagues could never have foreseen that the work would come to require detecting and defeating the efforts of drug cartels. This means surviving gunfights, stabbings, booby traps, poison dog bait and more—often within eyeshot of Google, Facebook and other tech giants in Silicon Valley. This is the demanding, rewarding, vital life on the Thin Green Line.   For more w/ The Spaniard: Subscribe to The Spaniard Show's email list: https://charliespaniard.com/email Support The Spaniard Show - https://patreon.com/charliespaniard Website/Bookings/Reading List: https://charliespaniard.com Book: https://amzn.to/2QPcf1P Facebook: https://facebook.com/charliespaniard Twitter: https://twitter.com/charliespaniard Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/charliespaniard Youtube: https://youtube.com/user/charliespaniard Subscribe to The Spaniard Show: iTunes - https://apple.co/2kxob7j Google Play - https://play.google.com/music/listen?u=0#/ps/Irpy2px7edqbwiwpil2ab2jq4me Stitcher - https://bit.ly/2qUBRPb
