Summary

Iain looks at the crimes of Claude Dallas, a folkloric figure from southwest Idaho known as the “last mountain man”. In January 1981, Claude found himself in a deadly skirmish with two officers from the state’s Fishing and Game Department, named Bill Pogue and Conley Elms. Hear how Claude evaded the authorities for months on end and lived off the land as an outlaw in Idaho, Oregon and Nevada.
