In 2016, the movie "The Revenant" was born, which showed the life of the wilderness hunter's betrayal and revenge.
But today, the protagonist is stronger than the "Glass" in the film, how tough is it?
Not only was he able to escape the traps of beasts of prey and other hunters in harsh environments, but he could even contend with the police of a town and kill two policemen. Those who escaped in the snow ran faster than sled dogs, relying only on a blanket to survive at minus forty degrees.
He was —Albert Johnson
Movie "The Revenant Hunter"
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" > mystery hunter</h1>
Canada has the second largest territory in the world, but many places are covered in ice and snow all year round, and until now the population is only 38 million, so it is a paradise for wildlife.
Canada's population density is quite small, and the north is unusually cold.
In the past, the local rich people liked to use wild animal furs as skin jackets. But Canada's climate is very harsh, and large dangerous animals are always present, so the price of fur is comparable to gold. At this time, many people began to take a lot of risks to go hunting in the extremely harsh conditions of Canada, which is why wilderness hunters were born.
But life is not as exciting as the movie, generally you still feel stimulated, people are gone. So this kind of life-saving work is not willing to be done even by experienced hunters. This creates people who survive in the wilderness, who are not outlaws but also people who are about to become outlaws.
Because canada in the 1930s was legal to hunt, just apply for a simple legal certificate. However, this kind of pants-off farting thing, there are still people who are not willing to apply, including Johnson.

Those who don't want to apply for a legal certificate, in fact, the idea is very simple, they can't talk to the government, on the other hand, they think that canada is so big, and there are no people there who can't find themselves hunting illegally.
Although I think so, these people are still relatively low-key, after all, it is not good to be caught, and there is a feeling of "making a fortune in a muffled voice".
But Johnson was no ordinary man, he hunted illegally, and he destroyed all the traps carefully designed by other hunters. After a long time, the other hunters felt that he was sick, and to cut off people's financial roads was to cut off the way of life.
The hunters went to the authorities to demand the arrest of this hateful bad guy. However, people at that time did not know who had broken their traps. Johnson is also very cunning, he basically hides in a small cabin he has built himself, and rarely goes out in public.

In December 1931, two police officers stumbled upon Johnson's cabin while on patrol. But they were also surprised, because they had been here before, and there was no one living here at all. So the two people felt like they had a look. Johnson was in the cabin, but he said, "I'm in the cabin, but I just don't come out."
Hey, just play! ”
He didn't open the door, and the police couldn't do anything, thinking that they might just be "shy" and left helplessly, ready to come back to see it next time with a search warrant.
Four days later, four policemen came. Johnson remained inside the house and did not open the door. However, the police saw evidence of him in the house outside, so a grumpy policeman said, "What about when we look at Maolu?" "Then kicked the door open.
Who knew that Johnson actually shot out of the house and directly injured the "rude" policeman. The other policemen were also confused, what kind of cruel people began to draw guns and return fire, and after a brief exchange of fire, the injured police officers were sent back to the hospital by the rest of the police for treatment. They decided to do this first this time, to go back and straighten out the people and horses first, and then to bring this guy who dared to oppose the official family to justice.

After another three days, all the local policemen came, and they brought dozens of sled dogs and police dogs, and even a bundle of explosives. They felt that if this guy dared to resist, we would send him to God with explosives.
This time the police did not intend to knock on the door and directly began to use the explosive package. After a loud bang, Johnson's cabin was blown up. However, this cruel man did not seem to be injured at all, because he had already dug the cellar in the wooden house, and he hid in the cellar.
"I can't imagine it, Grandpa has a plan."
Not only that, but Johnson also used the cover of the rubble to shoot at the police, and the strange thing is that the fire of a town policeman could not suppress him, and Johnson escaped smoothly.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="03" > escape</h1>
The failed operation humiliated the police, so they decided to issue a bounty order throughout the city and spend $1,000 to arrest Johnson.
The bounty at that time was not the same as now, when the law was not particularly perfect, as long as you were rewarded, then you may be hunted down by an experienced professional bounty hunter, or it may be a murderous murderer. They only know money, and they are actually some outlaws who wander the gray edge of the law.

At that time, $1,000 could buy a very luxurious house locally, which was an irresistible price. The Canadian government let the media publicize this matter overwhelmingly, which made many people moved. Half a month later, 21 people began to surround Johnson. Many of these men were veteran hunters with extensive experience, and they quickly found Johnson's footprints. Although the footprints were disguised, they still believed they could find him.
But the old hunter made a mistake, and the footprints were Johnson coming out backwards, which made these experienced guys go around the forest. Not only that, but Johnson also disguised his footprints as animal footprints to hide himself from many dangers.
But Ginger was still old and spicy, and the old hunters soon found themselves being played, so in late January 1932, countless police officers and old hunters blocked Johnson at the foot of a mountain, and behind him was a cliff. Everyone thought Johnson was dead, but Johnson won everyone by himself, even killing a policeman named Mirren.

It was later found that he was carrying something weighing 80 kilograms and had left the cliff with bare hands without any professional climbing tools. Where is the man, this is a gorilla!
After escaping, Johnson was even more cunning, the police just couldn't catch him, fortunately, the snow closed the mountain, he couldn't run.
However, within a few days, an Indian said that there was a footprint under the mountain, and the police immediately realized that he had crossed the mountain in a few days, still under the eyes of the police.
The police had enough, and they used a plane to reconnoiter and quickly found Johnson, but johnson killed a policeman in the firefight, but fortunately, the plane was condescending, and Johnson was shot nine times.
Johnson's death was found to be a rich man with $2400 in cash and some gold in his backpack, as well as some gold teeth in his mouth! In addition to that, strange things like dead birds and squirrels were found inside the backpack.
The exhibits that were hunted that year are also exhibited at the Canadian Museum
People desperately wanted to know what the identity of this cruel man was, but it was as if they appeared out of thin air. And such a rich person should not go to the forest to make a living.
Johnson was not only a sharpshooter, but also very physically strong, moving even longer than a horse could run on his legs in a day.
And the temperature is often below minus 40 degrees, and he can survive with only a blanket.
What left the police speechless was that Johnson and the police did not say a word during the pursuit. Originally, the police just wanted to investigate his identity, but he came up and shot him, as if he had a deep hatred for the police.
Who the hell is this person and where did he come from? It is still an unknown mystery.
It is said that the Canadian Museum now has an exhibition of the escape materials of this character...
