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

Yeah, but it's already field dressed.

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:

"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?

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

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.

Why don't you ask him?

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

Because I fly, I envy no one.

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.

I don't know who he is. I just read the NTSB report.

Well, a takeoff takes about 30 seconds, and a bull half a mile away can
certainly become an issue in those thirty seconds.

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.

Then why did you ask?
