The reindeer won that one. Those guys need to stay home and play their
xBox or something

Yeah. Imagine being the hunters seeing "Dee Plane" coming in for a
landing and then clipping the tree. What must have been going thru their
heads, if anything?

After that, they must have loaded the dead reindeer on the Maule (thanx
for pointing out the make) with the damaged wing. I'm wondering about the
whole weight and balance thing: The one hunter they showed (walking
stiffly before the plane strikes a tree the FIRST time) looks like a
pretty big guy. Add in their gear, the reindeer carcass, etc. Then add a
damaged wing and a snowy field to the equation. I think it adds up to one
dumb-ass pilot.

I'm gonna try to find the NTSB report on that one. Since no one was
injured or killed, I think it will be amusing.
