'North Woods Law' heads back to N.H. for third season

CONCORD - The third season of North Woods Law, featuring the state's Conservation Officers premieres Sunday, Jan. 7, at 9 p.m. on Animal Planet, New Hampshire Fish and Game announced today.

New Hampshire is a prime destination for outdoorsmen and women because of its wild and rugged landscape, making the work of New Hampshire Conservation Officers diverse and demanding, today's press release noted.

This season on North Woods Law, the officers help solve a 19-year-old cold case involving a missing man with the use of new camera and sonar technologies; conduct multiple search and rescue missions, including a night rescue of an injured and exhausted teenager with autism from the windswept trails of Mount Washington; investigate hunters suspected to be involved in illegal activity; save a malnourished and disorientated hawk battling blindness; and gear up to help local police make an arrest on a massive marijuana growing operation.

"We're excited about a third season rolling out," said Fish and Game Law Enforcement Chief Col. Kevin Jordan. "People have given us lots of positive feedback on the way the show has progressed so far. And just as we hoped, North Woods Law is serving to help the public understand the complexity of the work these officers are doing. Enjoy the new episodes!"
