Hunting Season

I see from reading the FAA accident site, that aircraft hunting season
has begun. Just this week...
C210 got a deer
C560 got a deer
B1900 got three geese
C650 got two geese

One would think that sitting on the ground with a gun would be cheaper,
but I guess there is more sport in using an airplane.

The hard part is flying home with that deer strapped on your wing.

At least pilots are smart enough not to show up at the tagging station with
a cow on the bumper as happens at least once a year up here in Maine.

Reminds me, I never did get around to painting that little deer symbol on
the cowling of our plane.

We've narrowly avoided half a dozen deer, a fox (!), a bald eagle (we
probably would've got put in jail, posthumously), several hawks, and more
run-of-the-mill birds than we can count.

I figure it's only a matter of time.

Almost took out a coyote/fox on a night takeoff at Creve Coeur a couple months back.

Because I fly, I envy no one.

Roger, really? You've actually seen a story every year about a
someone who bags a cow and tries to tag it?

How on earth do they get it on the bumper? Is it physically possible?
Around here, it takes a front end loader and a truck to move a dead
cow.

Small cows up here. It's the hard winters.

Sounds bad, but this one would really be a ****er:

"In a written statement, the pilot reported that during takeoff, as the
airplane climbed through 6 feet above ground level (agl), a bull
wandered onto the runway. The right main gear collided with the bull.
The pilot then continued his flight to Payson Airport, Payson, Arizona,
where he landed uneventfully. After landing, he noted that the right
main gear box was pulled loose."

And just where was the bull when he started his takeoff roll and what
was the pilot looking at?

Why don't you ask him?
