I’ll take a wild guess that CG, aerodynamics, and/or load limit were factors......

[SauronOfMordor]

Strapping a moose to your wing does not improve the aerodynamics of your plane.

Darwin award.

[ALPAPilot]

Not that I believe the media, but I don’t think moose antlers help the aerodynamics of the wing. There is nothing in our preflight checklist that mentions it so maybe it’s okay.

[PAR35]

Well, everyone knows that strapping large objects to the wings won’t disrupt airflow and lift. Anybody got a Blood Alcohol level?

[NorthMountain]

Headline is contradicted by article ... the antlers were strapped to the wing strut, very different from strapping to the wing itself. Real problem is overloading. Bush pilots often play fast and loose the rules. You can get away with violating the FAA's rules (sometimes), violating the laws of physics will always get you.

Yeah, sounds like a typical Alaskan general aviation operation.

Writer in painfully ignorant of aviation as well as hunting.

"The hunters caught a moose..."

You shoot a moose, take a moose, harvest a moose or kill a moose.

A mouse is said to be caught.

Arguably, I suppose that if you engage in an act of subterfuge by means of a muffin, then perhaps a moose could be said to be caught.

A moose once bit my sister...
No realli! She was Karving her initials on the moose with the sharpened end of an interspace toothbrush given her by Svenge—her brother-in-law— an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian movies: “The Hot Hands of an Oslo Dentist”, “Fillings of Passion”, “The Huge Molars of Horst Nordfink”...
Mynd you, moose bites Kan be pretti nasti...

The hunter pilot clearly didn’t understand the ABC’s of flight. No loss. Hope some higher predators get to feed on his carcass.

Hi.

Obviously the moose bit the pilot, but did the moose bite the pilot’s sister?

[Navy Patriot]

Darn, the Aircraft forgot to hold it’s breath and puff-up it’s wings for more lifting surface.

I know he was married to a rat and was, probably, a rat, too, but he was living a dream.
