in case you missed this, you need to be warned:

No winner in moose-helicopter battle

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) -- A helicopter is not necessarily a match for an
angry moose.

Instead of lying down after being shot with a tranquilizer dart, a moose
charged a hovering helicopter used by a wildlife biologist, damaging the
aircraft's tail rotor and forcing it to the ground.

Neither the pilot nor the biologist was injured, but the moose was maimed by
the spinning rotor and had to be euthanized, wildlife officials said.

safe flying....
