Early Michiganders recognized the rich and vast natural treasures surrounding them and the need for their conservation and protection. The result was the first salaried U.S. game warden, William Alden Smith, who was appointed in 1887. Warden Smith was charged principally with appointing deputies for the enforcement of fish and game regulations.
The department's duties included regulating wild bird and game harvests, setting hunting seasons and harvest limits, and issuing certificates for the scientific study of birds. In the early 1900s most of Alabama's peace officers were required by the state legislature to function as game and fish wardens in addition to their regular duties.
