The pilot of C-GGOL, a Cessna 207, was on a return trip from Whitehorse (YXY) to a private strip near Boswell (45 NM northeast of YXY) to pick up two hunters, some moose meat and their gear. It was reported that during takeoff from the 1,600 foot strip at Boswell the aircraft struck a tree near the departure end of the runway, crossed over a creek and descended into a hill. The ELT was activated, and a medevac helicopter was dispatched because one passenger was injured (broken arm). the STOL-equipped Cessna T207A was departing an outfitter's airstrip with the pilot, two hunters, their gear, two moose capes, two sets of moose horns and several quarters of moose meat on board. Immediately after lift-off the aircraft overflew a creek and a shallow ravine, and the pilot was unable to maintain a positive rate of climb. The aircraft struck trees and the ground approximately 600 feet past the departure threshold, and came to rest on it's right side. One passenger sustained a broken arm and the aircraft sustained substantial damage. The 1,800 foot long sand/gravel airstrip is located at 3,000 feet above sea level, at the confluence of three valleys. The aircraft was at or near gross weight and the takeoff was accomplished in an uphill direction. The surface winds were described as calm.
