The Mad Trapper: An Impossible Escape
After the initial shooting, the RCMP returned with a posse and dynamite, blowing the trapper's cabin to pieces. Believing him dead, they were stunned when he emerged from the crater, firing two guns, and vanished into a blizzard. For weeks, he survived in -40°C conditions, using clever tricks like backtracking in his own snowshoe prints to elude his pursuers. #Canada #MadTrapper #Survival #Yukon 🇨🇦

The Final Stand: Across the Richardson Mountains
In a final, desperate act of survival, the Mad Trapper did the unthinkable: he crossed the Richardson Mountains in the dead of winter. His tracks were spotted from the air by pilot Wop May, leading the RCMP to corner him on the frozen Eagle River on Feb. 17, 1932. The ensuing shootout brought the legendary chase to a violent end. #Canada #MadTrapper #Yukon #RCMPHistory 🇨🇦

The Spark of a Manhunt: The Mad Trapper's First Stand
The legend of the 'Mad Trapper' began Dec. 1931: a complaint about damaged traplines. Two RCMP constables arrived at the remote cabin of Albert Johnson; he refused to speak. Instead, he fortified his cabin. The officers returned with a warrant, one was shot through the door, sparking one of the largest manhunts in Canadian history. #Canada #MadTrapper #RCMPHistory #NWT 🇨🇦
