>Anyway, the difference between deaths caused by grizzlies, cougars and deer is that a deer may "take out" all the passengers in the car, whereas the predators do it on a one-to-one basis. However, the pred's usually walk away from the encounter and live to kill again, whereas the deer are like kamikaze. So if you subtract their deaths from the toll they aren't all that successful :-)

The problem is that there is an overpopulation (27 million) of them.
