Two hunters got a pilot to fly them into the far north for elk
hunting. They were quite successful in their venture and bagged
six big bucks. The pilot came back, as arranged, to pick them up.

They started loading their gear into the plane, including the six
elk. But the pilot objected and he 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 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. 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 crashed last year."
