This conversation reminds me of a Steve Martin bit back when, you know, he was actually funny ...

Is this the weirdest rule in sports?

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Iditarod officials on Wednesday imposed a two-hour time penalty on musher Dallas Seavey for not properly gutting the moose he killed during the race earlier this week.

Race marshal Warren Palfrey convened a three-person panel of race officials to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of the moose, which became tangled up with Seavey and his dog team early Monday, about 12 hours after the dayslong race officially started. One dog was injured in the encounter and flown back to Anchorage for care.

If a musher kills a big game animal like a moose, caribou or buffalo in defense of life or property during the race, rules require they gut the animal and report it to officials at the next checkpoint.

Can officials do a replay review?

It is a big deal where many are subsistence hunters and a moose is a great prize . That can feed folks  for a good long time

From the story, it doesn't sound like he did anything to prevent consumption.

The moose was retrieved and its meat salvaged and processed. Iditarod associates in Skwentna were distributing the food.

Moose jerky is excellent

The only moose I like is chocolate mousse.

Moose have every right to take out humans with zero mercy.  We have treated their species abysmally.

Moose are idiots

[rocket surgeon]

didn't Schroeder hall have a floor of dudes who formed a group of "mischievous jokesters" and called themselves the "moose men"?  no idea where and how the name came about but some the "activities" they carried out were legendary. 

   just another way to burn off the every day stresses of college life, I guess.  I doubt however, they and their activities had anything to do with moose abuse though-they had to draw the line somewhere...

  put it this way-good thing cell phones weren't around back in the late 70's-early 80's.

They're not blessed with great intelligence.

The meat will spoil if you don't remove the entrails
Bacteria will proliferate quickly

Right.
And that didn't happen here.

Pretty sure the Moose carcass didn't go to waste.  Wolves, Grizzlies and Vultures probably had a feast.

MUScoop is a write only affair for most.  I learned this about 15 years ago.

Yeah but did you ever notice that posters don't read what they quote? I've noticed it for about a decade and a half.

That's why people need to focus and follow clear directions Herman.  Thankfully Elmo is alright.  We all know what woukd have happened had he actually attacked. 

[cheebs09]

I wonder if he was upset at people constantly trying to tickle him.

There are probably too many reasons to ponder as to why Elmo may have been angry about something.

Have we determined who would win between a Gorilla and a Bear?

Have we determined who would win between a Gorilla and a Bear?

This question is somewhat nuanced Herman.  It certainly depends on the size of the bear.  If you're wondering what a Polar, large Brown, or Kodiak bear would do in this scenario?  It wouldn't end well for the Silverback.

You obviously enjoy fishing Herman.
