Two hunters hire a pilot to fly them into the far north for elk hunting. The hunters were quite successful and bagged six big bucks.
As arranged, the pilot came back to pick them up. They started loading their gear into the plane, including the six elk. But the pilot objected and said: “The plane can only take four of your elk, You will have to leave two behind.”
They argued with him. The year before they had shot six elk 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 all six aboard.
When they 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,” the other hunter replied. “This is the same place we landed last year.”
