so this morning i see a blurb on the today show... and what do you know, it's about one of our reporters here in alaska! looks like blitzen did some major (removed) kicking and tackled a reporter in North Pole. Pretty funny. and what's ambarrassing, is they showed this all over the nation! glad i'm not her!

LOL. if that deer would have been a little bigger it would have dragged her away.

i think he was 8 mos old and that's why she didn't get injured. those guys can pack a punch and will do some damage!

plain old white tail deer do mega damage when they run out in front of your car down here. I'm sure the reindeer are a lot bigger up there.

Don't quote me, but I don't think that reindeer get very big. They might, but every one that I have seen have been fairly small. About waist to armpit high. Maybe some of our Canadian or Alaskan friends know for sure.

Why must every thread in which I mention my accident turn into a thread about HUNTING?

Actually, they portrayed it in a good light! They were like "this woman gets run over, gets up, and laughs. All good." Then they showed a clip of a guy on a texas morning show who got attacked by a snake and he freaked out....Leno's like "The woman was all calm, the man starts freaking out..."
