A Grizzly killed and ate 70 pounds of a camper that was staying in a tent at Rainbow Point Campground near West Yellowstone, MT in the 1980's. This was just a short walk through the woods from our cabin, we were there the night it happened.
They captured the bear, killed him and did an autopsy to determine what made the bear do such a thing.
I am no coroner or biologist, but it didn't take me long to determine that if a bear ate 70 pounds of you, he wasn't marking his territory...
Damn right he ate part of that guy. I was gulper fishing the morning after that attack on Rainbow Point on the Madison arm of the lake. I was paddling out to fish and a USFS pickup pulled up where I had put in and told me to get out of the area. Never saw a FS guy with a rifle in the truck before so it was pretty obvious something big had gone down. They found the body by drag marks across the main road by the first cross road. I remember that deal pretty well.
