A small jet slammed into an elk during take-off at a small airport about 65 miles northwest of Portland, Oregon, early Tuesday, then skidded off the runway and erupted into a fireball.

The four passengers walked away without injuries. A spokesman for Astoria Regional Airport said the jet was carrying three civilians and a Canadian military official on a scheduled mission. It did not release further details.

The twin-engine jet was destroyed by fire after it hit an elk during takeoff.
The business-type Lear 36 jet was taking off around 6:15 a.m. Pacific time when it crashed into an elk on the runway, airport manager Ron Larsen said. The pilot managed to keep the jet under control, Mr. Larsen said, directing it off the runway.

?I heard a boom,? said John Overholser, the owner of the airport?s Runway Café. ?It did not sound good to me.?

The rural airport near Astoria had planned to install a fence next summer to keep out the wandering herds of elk that frequent the area. ?We?ve had elk on this airport for years,? Mr. Larsen said, but they have never before caused a crash.

Coast Guard commander Patrick Brennan said he heard ?what sounded like an explosion? when the jet crashed. Emergency crews responding to the scene found flames gutting the jet?s midsection. Mr. Larsen said the crash may have severed a fuel line.

Mr. Overholser raced from the café after the crash and found the four crew members standing and unhurt. He said the jet ?was burning slightly? but flames were building; he did not see any leaking fuel.

Witnesses said they could not tell how large the elk was and did not know what it was doing on the runway.

The crash shut down the small airport, and Mr. Larsen said it would remain closed into Tuesday morning. Few flights were scheduled, he said.

Here in Oregon our Governor has asked the public to report and be aware of any "suspicious" Elk.

nobody's against hunting, it's CANNED hunting, which is shooting an animal basically on a leash to get your thrills.

is it a sexual thing for you?

exactly!

Canned hunting is for pussies who are too lazy to be able to get out of a truck and hike a couple miles...

Maybe in January after the Internext show, a bunch of us should head up to Wyoming and do some REAL hunting...none of this pussy animals in a cage bullshit...

As for the tree hugger comment...us REAL hunters are definately environmentalists at heart...but someone who's too lazy to hike for a real hunt wouldn't know that....

You want to see REAL hunters, go to an Elk Camp way up in the mountains of Wyoming where the oxygen is thin, the temperature is 0 on a hot day, the snow is deep and the elk are huge...

I remember one year for moose season, I decided to try bowhunting...nothing will make you shit your pants faster than a pissed off moose with an arrow in him that didn't "do the job"

...and then there's the fun of being stupid enough to shoot an elk that's pretty deep in the woods....I got it in one shot, but it dropped way in the woods and my dad was "fucker, I can't get the truck in there, you have a few hours before it gets dark to find a way to get that thing gutted and to the truck before then...I learned the art of a tree wench, a hacksaw and a very fast gutting...nothing like being a 16 year old 110 pound kid tackling the gutting and dismemberment of a 1500 pound elk...as my dad sat about quarter of a mile away drinking coffee, reading a PlayBoy and cackling like a madman...

A canned hunter can NEVER have those kinds of memories...poor bastards........

My girlfriend has a cabin in Sundance. If I could find my fucking Ruger .223 I'll go along.

Except I haven't shot in like a year so I'll just take the responsibility of scaring everything away right up front.
