"Earl Durand was a legend. I think the reason it's important to me is that I think he was mistreated. He was forced into doing what happened to him when he got thrown into jail. He was just out there trying to feed some hungry people. So that's why he poached his elk and they throwed him in jail for it. That's like putting a wild bird in a cage." - Dean Johnson
