Fish and game wardens are in the same pay range as police officers and
detectives. Pay range depends on level of achievement and title. In May
2006, the median pay range for officers fell at $44,000 per year
compared
to a supervisors pay range averaging at $63,000 per year. The
highest 10 percent earned well over $100,000 a year, while the lowest 10
percent in the field made less than $34,000 a year.
As a public employee, benefits are usually calculated through
eligibility, years of service, and highest average compensation.
Retirement benefits can be vested depending upon years of time served.
Some states have special retirement plans just for peace officers.

Fish and game wardens have many diverse duties. Many people imagine it
as a glamorous job. After all, they catch dangerous poachers and ride
on horseback, right? Not so much. While wardens still enforce the law,
they also do things ranging from rescuing a trapped salmon on its way
to spawn, to teaching first graders how to fish.First and foremost, fish
and game wardens monitor wildlife populations. The term "wildlife"
applies to animals, such as deer and wolves, that are not raised by
humans.
Wardens need to know if there is to much of one animal or to little. Wardens gather data through research and
observation. If they find an irregularity in the number of animals,
fish and game wardens try to correct the problem. If the number of
animals is low, wardens recommend changes to protect animals. They may
do this by improving the animals' habitat or by changing laws. If the
number of animals is high, wardens must determine how to decrease the
number. In addition, wardens must determine whether the change in the
number of animals is a long-term event or just a one-year change.
