What happened to the 'bull'? NTSB normally reports any damaage or
fatalities both in air and on ground caused by the aircraft.

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.

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

Had a barbeque. It was delicious!

Are you talking about those New Ya....ak hunters that used to come to
Maine. I believe they were called 'sound' hunters by the locals as
they fired at any 'sound' they heard in the woods G

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

I don't know... I've heard some interesting tales about Alaska.

Thats why that strong cross-brace is there between the floats.

Tying the mouth closed is good for about a couple of knots.

Huh? What are you talking about? Just hit the deer fast enough and don't
slow down until you get home. It'll stay stuck there just fine.

Yeah, but it's already field dressed.

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.

Lol - I thought you were referring to the recent mail going around
Alaskan aerial hunting:


Alaska has reinstituted aerial shooting of wolves, to increase the moose
and caribou populations--for the HUNTERS...see the attached CNN article
at
http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/science...eut/index.html
.

If this outrages you as much as it does me, I urge you to contact the
Alaska Department of Fish and Game to register your disgust. You can
e-mail the Commissioner of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game at


Or write or call:
Alaska Department of Fish and Game

Juneau, Alaska 99802-5526

Sometimes they use both an aircraft *and* a gun.
