Even waterfowl hunters don’t shoot when the game is over deep water, unless they have a retriever. With what that thing weighs, they could never tow it to shore. The birch canoe and the moose indicate that it’s a northern tribe. They actually manufactured shirts, leggings, to protect from the chill. It’s unlikely they would be out on a hunt in only a breechclout. Another ‘noble savage’ painting…
I’ve actually been part of that scenario. I wasn’t obese enough to be asked to move, but two businessmen were. It was a little turboprop, flying from Idaho Falls to Boise – in a blizzard. The co-pilot wasn’t so polite – “You two – move to the back.” Following the incredulous looks, “I said MOVE!” They did… :)
This actually happened to us, except with our little Shelty. She worshiped the full-sized collie next door and would dig under the fence to go over and join him. Once, Animal Control followed her back to our house and knocked on the door. He shouted “There she is and gave her a ticket.” Being the attorney I am, I told my wife she didn’t have to give her up and never do it again… :)
