Sequence of events

Analysis
The plt landed at a remote strip used by hunters and left in as poor a state as possible by them to make this choice game area relativley inaccessable. This area has many accidents as a result. The rwy is 1200 ft MSL. There are no wind direction indicators. There is a slight upgrade to the south. The plt said he was not able to keep the acft right side up during the roll on the 600 ft long clearing. According to him there are hazards off both sides of the 40 ft wide clearing. He recommended not landing at this location.
