An Idaho True Crime Classic of Claude Dallas Jr., Wilderness Poaching, and Game Warden Murders

In January 1981 in the remote Owyhee Mountains along the Idaho-Nevada border, self-proclaimed mountain man and trapper Claude Dallas Jr. shot and killed two Idaho Fish and Game officers, Conley Elms and Bill Pogue, during a routine poaching investigation at his winter camp.

Acclaimed true crime writer Jack Olsen details the fifteen-month FBI and state police desert manhunt that ensued across the Great Basin. The book tracks Dallas's survival skills, local anti-government sympathizers who aided his flight, his capture in 1982, and the contentious Owyhee County murder trial.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Jack Olsen presents a masterclass in Western true crime reporting and outdoor law enforcement history. Essential reading for fans of Norman Maclean, Edward Humes, and C.J. Box.
