I saw this in probably the late 70s or early 80s. It's about a mountain man who is accused of some crime and is hunted by lawmen through the wilderness in the winter. Probably in Alaska or Canada. I think he dies in the end on a mountain. Note: I do not think it's "Death Hunt" with Charles Bronson because that movie is rated R and I saw this movie when I was quite young in a theatre, so it's probably rated G or PG.

Thanks!

OK, here's a scene I remember, maybe it will jog someone's memory. He's on snowshoes in the woods and to lose the people who are after him, he walks backward in his own tracks a ways and then jumps of the trail. That way it looks like his tracks just suddenly ended.

This kind of sounds like Jeremiah Johnson here is a link
Jeremiah Johnson (1972)

Jeremiah Johnson isn't the one I'm thinking of, but thanks anyway. After searching the internet for like 2 hours, I think it might be "Challenge to Be Free". Apparently it's based on the same real-life person as "Death Hunt", only it's rated G. That's got to be it. I just ordered it used from Amazon for $1.99...

The movie is challenge to be free 1976
