Stupid Hunters

Two moose hunters from Texas are flown into a remote
lake in Alaska.  They have a good hunt, and both manage
to get a large moose.  When the plane returns to pick
them up, the pilot looks at the animals and says, "This
little plane won't lift all of us, the equipment, and both
of those animals - you'll have to leave one.  We'd never
make it over the trees on the take off."

"That's baloney!" says one of the hunters.

"Yeah," the other agrees, "you're just chicken.  We
came out here last year and got two moose and that
pilot had some guts!  He wasn't afraid to take off!"

"Yeah", said the first hunter, "and his plane wasn't
any bigger than yours!"

The pilot got angry, and said, "Hell, if he did it, then
I can do it!  I can fly as well as anybody!"

They loaded up, taxied at full throttle, and the plane
almost made it, but didn't have the lift to clear the
trees at the end of the lake.  It clipped the tops, then
flipped, then broke up, scattering the baggage, animal
carcasses, and passengers all through the brush.

Still alive, but hurt and dazed, the pilot sat up, shook his
head to clear it, and said, "Where are we?"

One of the hunters rolled out from being thrown into a
bush, looked around, and said, "I'd say...  About a hundred
yards further than last year..."
