A pilot and passenger from Australia sustained only small cuts and bruises when an elk jumped and severed the tail rotor of their helicopter Monday evening near Currant Creek in Wasatch County.
The pair was attempting to net the animal, Wasatch County Search and Rescue said on Facebook.
Few details were immediately released, and it was not clear how the elk fared. First responders from Fruitland evaluated the two aboard the helicopter.
"Not something you see every day when an Elk brings down a chopper," the rescue group wrote in the Facebook post.
The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources was investigating.
