A Bell 206L helicopter operated by Gogal Air Services, was conducting a day VFR flight from Flin Flon (CYFO), MB to Yaskowich Lake, SK. Upon landing at Yaskowich Lake, the pilot positioned the aircraft's skids across a log to keep the tail rotor clear of terrain. The pilot got out to load some cargo with the aircraft idling. The center of gravity shifted, and the aircraft pivoted back onto its tail. The tail rotor contacted the ground while turning. The aircraft was substantially damaged. There were no injuries.
