Iditarod Dog Race musher punished for failing to properly gut moose he killed

• Dallas Seavey shot moose after one of dogs injured
• Musher given time penalty after incident

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.

A three-person panel investigated the circumstances surrounding the death of the moose, which became tangled up with Seavey and his dog team early on Monday, about 12 hours after the days-long race officially started. One dog was injured in the encounter and flown back to Anchorage for care.
