Leaping elk crashes low-flying research helicopter

But what the heck: If the Elk took the helicopter down, then the helicoter wasn't at such a big altitude...

i did not know that there were kamikaze elk yet lurking around here...next time keep them away from your tech toys...

I bet the first few minutes on the phone with the insurance company were interesting. "An elk hit your helicopter? How the hell did that happen?"

Sounds like a total blotched job by everyone involved. Go back and relearn your skill set.

Anyone else does this and they get charged with animal harassment.

And we were worried about drones...

A quick way to make ground elk.

That’s what happens when you play in their yard.

"Kieffer says they will review the incident and make any changes necessary in order to prevent it from happening again."

Like making sure the elk is really sedated and not faking it... (also, not landing next to any elk)

More like Elk: 0 / Helo: 0. The poor elk didn’t survive the encounter.
