The helicopter was maneuvering on a private ranch on a deer netting flight. After shooting a net at a deer, a weight on the net bounced up and became entangled on the right skid of the helicopter. The deer and net pulled the helicopter's nose downward, and the pilot lost control of the helicopter after encountering dynamic rollover. Subsequently, the helicopter came to rest on its left side.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain control of the helicopter after encountering dynamic rollover. A contributing factor was the deer pulling the aircraft unevenly.
