The two men had a good hunt and each got a large moose.  When the pilot came to pick them up, he looked at the two large moose and told the men that he would only be able to carry one.  We will never clear the trees if we try to take off with both moose.

The two buddies then lit in to him.  No way was he going to leave one of the moose there.  What's the matter with you they ask, are you chicken or something.  We had the same load last year and that pilot didn't have a plane any bigger than yours.

At this the pilot said,  I'm the best pilot around and I guess if someone else took off from this lake with such a load then I can to.

The pilot lined up so as to use the whole lenght of the lake.  He got up as much speed as he could and at the last possible moment lifted off the lake.  He almost cleared the trees but for one pontoon which caught the top of a tall pine.  The plane flipped and crashed in the brush scattering plane parts, hunting gear, moose, and hunters through the brush.

After several minutes the pilot came to, looked around, and asked one of the hunters; where are we?  The hunter looked around and answered;  I'd say about 150 yards further than last year.

Have a good hunting joke or  story.  Email it to me and I will publish it in this area.
