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

Great that the crew survived the encounter. The elk and the helicopter are considered victims.

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

"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.
