Wonder if there was any food scent involved. The article stated bear destroyed the hammock and bag. Similar attack in Smoky Mountains last year. 2017 Colorado incident had a black bear pull a 19 year old out from his tent by his head. Investigators couldn't find any food that would have attracted the bear. Lot of folks discount black bear danger vs griz.
