Two Hunters


Two hunters are dropped off by a bush pilot in a remote area of Canada and are told that the pilot will be back to pick them up at a certain date and time so to be ready.

Their hunt is successful and the time arrives for the pickup. The pilot swoops in for the pickup of the two proud hunters. On viewing the hunters and their trophies, the pilot sez there is too much weight, and that one of the hunters will have to leave his game behind.

An argument ensues and after several minutes of disagreement one of the hunters states that last year the pilot allowed each of them to return with their game. Finally the pilot gives in and loads the plane to overflowing.

The plane departs overloaded and after struggling the length of the lake to gain altitude it crashes into the side of a mountain.

The men all survive and after freeing themselves from the wreckage one hunter says to the other, "Where do you suppose we are?"

The second hunter looks around and replies, "It looks to me that we're about 500 to 1000 feet north of where we crashed last year."
