THE PURPOSE OF THE FLIGHT WAS FOR PREDATOR (COYOTE) CONTROL. THE PILOT WAS FOLLOWING A COYOTE AT A LOW-ALTITUDE, MODERATE-SPEED AIR TAXI OVER SNOW AND SAGEBRUSH COVERED TERRAIN. ONE OF THE AIRCRAFT'S SNOWBOARDS CAUGHT SEVERAL SAGEBRUSH LIMBS AND THE PILOT LOST DIRECTIONAL CONTROL. THE HELICOPTER ROTATED AND ROLLED OVER RESULTING IN SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE ROTOR ASSEMBLY AND TAIL BOOM.
