Two hunters got a pilot to fly them into the far north for moose hunting. They were quite successful in their venture and bagged two big bulls. The pilot came back, as arranged, to pick them up. They started loading their gear into the plane, including the two bulls. But the pilot objected and he said, "The plane can only take one of your moose; you will have to leave one behind." They argued with him; the year before they had shot two and the pilot had allowed them to put all aboard. The plane was the same model and capacity. Reluctantly, the pilot finally permitted them to put both aboard. But when the attempted to take off and leave the valley, the little plane could not make it and they crashed into the wilderness.

Climbing out of the wreckage, one hunter said to the other, "Do you know where we are?"

"I think so," replied the other hunter. I think this is about the same place where we landed last year!"
