Robert Lewis Crose had been working in remote Montana and used his Facebook page to complain about the cold weather.
The 47-year-old wrote that temperatures had plunged close to freezing and that his "water line froze even with heat tape and wrap".
When someone asked where he was, he responded with a post that he was in "Cut Bank" - a small town in the aptly-named Glacier County near the Canadian border.
Police distributed photographs of the fugitive in the area and were tipped off that Crose was at a local casino.
Glacier County sheriff Sgt Tom Siefert told reporters: "I talked to him, he said he'd worked cutting up here, harvesting, for the last 10 years."
Crose had been convicted of making a terrorist threat and of using a sawn-off shotgun to fend off an intruder at his shop in California in 1996.
He served less than a year in prison before being paroled but was then returned to prison for a violation and paroled again in 1998. He absconded from that parole.
