irish moose hunters

[Ken Gargett]

Two Irish hunters, Rob and Smithy, got a pilot to fly them to Canada to hunt moose. They did it every year.

This year, they bagged six.

As they started loading the plane for the return trip, the pilot said

the plane could only take four moose. He told them that the plane would not be able to handle any extra weight. four was the maximum.

Our two heroes objected strongly. They argued with the pilot, "Last year we shot six, and the pilot let us put them all on board, and

he had the same kind of plane as yours" said Rob.

Reluctantly, the pilot gave in and all six were loaded, however even

with full power, the little plane couldn't handle the load and went

down. The plane was completely destroyed but fortunately, our two heroes survived.

A few moments after, climbing out of the wreckage, Smithy asked Rob, "Any idea where we are?"

Rob looked about and replied, "I think we're pretty close to where we crashed last year."

Interestingly enough, the last two times I was flying across the Canadian wilderness on fishing excursions I saw remnant's of crashed bush planes! The Beaver de Havillands we use are so loud you cant talk but I alway's look at the pilot wondering if he is hungover and got enough sleep!

There really is nothing worse than a noisy beaver , they keep me awake at night too.

I thought the two go hand in hand but I have never been accompanied by truly outstanding Beaver aboard a de Havilland as they dont like the bush!!

I'm not so sure that's always the case.

They would certainly be welcome. Can be a bumpy ride
