Police in Far **rth Queensland are investigating (http://mypolice.qld.gov.au/far**rth/2016/09/19/cow-v-helicopter-**-bull/) an incident in which a cow brought down a helicopter.
It happened south of Coen (http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/helicopter-destroyed-after-runin-with-cow-20160919-grjh3l.html), right near the **rth eastern tip of Australia. Presumably trying to get their daily muster under wraps, the pilot got a little too close to his livestock and ended up with one of the chopper's feet caught on the horns of a cow.*

Mustering stock via helicopter is a necessity in certain parts of Australia where terrain is rough and properties huge.
