Scott McCorquodale takes aim at a fleeing elk as he shoots a tranquilzing dart at the animal from a helicopter flying just over the animals. McCorquodale, a wildlife biologist for Washington state, was tranquilizing several elk that day so he could analyze the health of each animal and the herd. That information would later be used to make decisions on how to manage the elk herd on the L.T Murray Wildlife Area near Selah, Wash.
