A Moose Hunt to Remember

Robert J Samples Loc: Round Rock, Texas
 
While this might have happened, you need to read it with questions as to the sanity of the hunters. It was when two illustrious Nimrods, who loved to live life to the fullest, chartered a pilot and a float plane to take them deep into the bush in Alaska.

Upon their arrival by regularly scheduled airlines, they were met by the bush pilot who had been contracted ahead of time. He, upon meeting the two Nimrods, said to them, “All right, you guys, I remember what happened last year, you both killed a moose and insisted on bringing both out.

I had warned you the plane could not get airborne with both of you, your gear, and two moose. You both must agree and kill only one moose this year. Fortunately, I have had my aircraft rebuilt but it still will not be able to get airborne with two moose!

After much cajoling, begging, and finally offering to pay double the price, the hunters managed to convince the pilot to give it a try. So, they load everything, including the two moose, and the pilot then taxis to the very edge of the lake, trying to get as much distance to be able to clear the trees at the other end of the lake.

Off they go in a roar and were able to get almost over the tallest trees, but not quite enough. The pontoons of the plane snagged the tallest trees about 50 yards past the lake and they crash, destroying the airplane completely. One of the hunters crawls out and sees his buddy on the shore of the lake. “Are you O.K.?” Yes, but look we have crashed again!” To which the first hunter said, “Yes, but look how much further we’ve gotten this last year!” Just Sayin…RJS

I guess nimrod is universal.
There were three nimrods in the plane.

Alaskans, are known for pushing the limits, especially with their aircraft. You don't see it much in lower 48 news, but small aircraft accidents are the norm up there. This sounds like typical Alaskan humor.
