The fawn mortality study done almost 5 years ago showed that bears kill roughly as many young fawns as coyotes do. The effect drops off rapidly as the fawns become more mobile but bears do a real number on them early on.

Here is a link to the journals. Anyone interested in the whitetail deer should enjoy reading the journals from the two year study.
