Title: What animal is causing the most fatalities in BC??
Post by: Mabelingwane on June 04, 2004, 08:01:09 AM

Most people think it would be the bear family. Here in BC we are blessed with some of the highest bear populations in the world but it may come as a surprize that they are no where near the deadliest critter we deal with. Click on the link below for the true story. Once on the site scroll down until you see the link leading to animal involved fatalities 1969 - 1997

Canoe man... You got me thinking. Im on the net for most part of the day - work related and come accross alot of the info, and then feel it is cool to share. In adition to fishing, Im a hunter to, so I want to know if there are any critters out there that will be hunting me, so I research all kinds of things...

as for animals causing fatalities and accidents , i am always amazed at how a little deer jumping out onto the road at night and colliding with a car, can do so much damage to the car, in some cases flattening the hood, windshield and roof (depending on vehicle speed)..... :o

The cop hits the brakes the MOMENT he sees the deer (B indicator), but it doesn't help.
