Helicopter Hunters is a great video, the book is hard to come by , it is called the chopper boys, if you find it grab it.

In the us Hawkins and Powers proably doest more game capture/tagging /recovery than any other operator. Saw a picture of them slinging cows with a 500 out of the Escalante Staircase N.M. in Utah, wild stuff!

Helicopters by OZ, also does a lot of this stuff: www.helicapture.com. I heard they had a crash last year doing a moose recvory and the pilot and mucker were killed. It might have been the owner..

There are several samller guys in the western us that do that sort of work with 500d's

HP's web site: http://www.hawkinsandpowers.com/Capture.htm

I am sure they have lots of photos if you contact them . Gary there chief pilot does most of the capture work.


Hope this helps..
