And the stats for Florida and Minnesota?

I’ll bet that lightning win in those two states.

Even if you restrict it to just golfers struck by lightning or golfers verses alligators.

Stats are fun!

The big difference seems to be grizzly bears.

Black bears kill about the same number of people as grizzlys, but there are many times as many black bears as grizzly bears.

In the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) there are about 690 grizzly bears. In 2017, 35 were killed either in direct self-defense (19) or by game management after they were found to be a direct threat to human life and property.

In one year, one of twenty grizzlys had to be killed as direct threats to human life and property.

Black bears seem to learn to avoid humans, given plenty of hunting pressure.
