Hello,
A really good place to start is a website called glassdoor.com. If you google this website you can type in fish warden, game warden and any other type of job you are interested in. It will then show you what the starting pay, middle pay and high pay is for that job and other related jobs, specifically in your geographic area too! Hope this help!

Here is a link that I found for Maryland, assuming that is where you are considering.
https://www.gamewardenedu.org/maryland/
If you scroll down, you will notice the job description and requirements for becoming a Game Warden. Further down the page you will find various salaries based on level of experience and responsibility.
I have teased that portion out those salaries below (please note this changes from state to state and annually as well):
