13. The grammar in the article is poor. It is not clear which way the meat was going.

The story could be interpreted as, he was flying trophy meat out to civilization "for hunters" or was carrying meat in "for hunters" to eat. I lean toward the former. First, how many hunters could it possibly take to eat an over loaded plane full of moose meet. Also the antlers are the real give away. They are definitely a trophy going out.

It's still definitely death by Darwin. I have flown 10s of thousands of miles with Alaskan bush pilots and never seen anything so stupid.
