The snowmobile hit the side of Zirkle's sled at 5 miles (8.05 kilometers)out of Koyukuk, turned around multiple times and came back at her before driving off,

King, a four-time Iditarod champion, was behind Zirkle and fared worse.

When King reached the vicinity, he was struck from behind by the snowmobile and at least three of his dogs were hit.

Everyone in Alaska carries a gun. Why don’t they use it.

My guess is one of the indigenous people of the area.

A lima november.

Some are so pure and one with nature; they cannot be named.

Polar bears, crows, vultures, and wolves need to eat too.
This moron seems to be offering himself up... He just needs some help facilitating it.

A 240 grain Nosler hollowpoint straight through the engine would work wonders on attitude adjustment.

It wasn't the engine that attacked them.

I imagine if they had all known this was a series of attacks, they would have solved the problem. They must carry in case of predator attacks, and this was a predator.

Besides -- your ignorance is showing: hollowpoints are ineffective against engine blocks -- but do wonders for drivers...
 
LoL - the "ignorance" here is the failure to inquire about the caliber, load data and bullet construction before making that post.

Its an indian village. The suspect has been identified by the police. The name isn’t being released. So its either a drunk idiot, or some rabble rouser indian rights type pissed off that the sleds are there at all.

It`s a story about some ass-wipe attacking an iconic, American wilderness race. The creep who did it, could have injured or killed a person and actually did kill a dog, injuring others. I am so tired of the political rectums around here trying to take over unrelated threads to fart out their diarrhea of the mouth. They want to crap out their personal bull shit, then post their own F-ing threads!

Please place this ah and his beloved snomachine on a small iceberg, smaller is better; an ice cube would suffice.

At least give him some company so he won't be all alone. A hungry bear would suffice.

I suspect a .44 Magnum 240 grain hollowpoint would mess up a little snowmobile engine pretty good.

We drove the ALCAN highway to Alaska a few years back, beautiful, simply beautiful!

We once mistakenly drove through an Indian village.
May have been worse than the bad areas of Chicago, and I have been through most of them.
This was in Canada, where they pour money in without end.

Still the wrong target. Shooting the 'chine for the terrorist act is like blaming a gun for murder.

Typical liberal hoplophobe crap.

I wouldn’t think they would target the animals, the humans yes.
