All the further info I have was it was recent and in the Yukon. There was another picture of his skull, which I didn't show.

Boy, that's really brutal. By any chance did he survive the attack? Yeah, he must have, there's a picture of him sitting upright. We've had black bear break into our tents in Provincial Parks (the reason I no longer frequent them is the stupid rule - no firearms allowed in our Provincial camp grounds), but they generally are just interested in the food, however you don't want to take chances with any of the bruin family. Darn those pictures sure get your attention. Best wishes.

THATS why I always carried a BEAR stopper when I hunted in bear country ; lion country too for that matter . Which I now live in (cause they moved into the neighborhood)

It is sort of a quandry, for me. When I am hunting in sub-zero weather, where do I leave my elk rifle? What sleeping arrangements do/should I have? If I take my elk rifle in with me where it might be warm and humid, what is the consequences when I take it outside? These arrangements are not always ideal. One time of having my elk rifle frosted over in the morning would/will be enough of that. However, if I am in an area where I really should have a powerful rifle at my side at night what do I do? When I hunted West of the Rocky Mountain National Park that first year I slept in an unheated tent camper. When I got up in the morning to go hike the mountain - I wanted to be where I saw the elk the evening before - it was 45 degrees below zero. The rifle a Model 70 .338 Mag with Leupold scope was fully functional. Keeping the lense free from frost and keeping the action operational at those temps where top concerns. Sleeping in an unheated area worked OK. But I had good sleeping bags (3) and I was 20+ years younger. What if I were going Caribou hunting next year?
