Animals most likely to kill you this summer

[2LaneCruzer]

Nothing new about unfriendly trees, although you have to get out of Kansas to find them.

In Maine I would have to say moose , when you hit them it's through the windshield they go . At night you can't see them until it's to late .

I hibernating bear is more likely to kill you this summer than next winter.

even worse, cows with guns:

I've had people looking at them in daytime and say "How can you not see that?" As you said, at night it's a different story. They also like to run up out of the ditch just as you get near them.
I don't see nearly as many as I used to though. I finally got my bull permit after putting in faithfully for 30+ years. I hunted hard all week and never saw anything I could tag.

Those dangerous cows remind me of dealing with roosters. Kill the one attacking you, and then it's the next one in line the next day. We at a lot of chicken for about two weeks once they matured and we could tell who where the layers and who where the but heads!!!

Here in TX, I would think that the snakes get quite a few people every year, but the only thing I have heard in the news that kills people are the bees.

IMO...Though it may not be "deadly"...the deer tick (that can carry Lyme Disease) should be one of the most feared during summer months...

It can be deadly and can mess people up badly.

Actually I meant the tick being deadly...you're right about the disease...

You got that right. That disease is bad. Good response and great reminder to watch for the bullseye appearance.
