Ron Hayes is a poacher. He is a crook. But he also experienced a lot of heart break and loss. From losing his son. To losing his homestead and lodge in the Wrangells to the NPS and having them burn it up after he cut it from the wilderness. He isn't even allowed to visit the gravesite of his son who is buried there. I am not making excuses but I might not be the most forthright guide on Federal lands after that experience. I have had several conversations with him and he targeted his graft against the feds.
