Default Predatory bears??

I was talking to my uncle over the weekend down in PA. He claims a friend of his has trail cams up on the mountain andhas gathered seven pictures of black bear with fawns IN THEIR MOUTH over the last year. He claims that a lack of ground feed for the bears has caused them to follow the does and snatch the fawns right after birth. Has anyone ever heard of this before? I have to admit, I have not seen the pictures, but my uncle claims he has (and he is a someone I hold in high regard). He claims this is a major factor in the poor deer population in parts of PA as the bear population is quite high right now. Just curious about your thoughts.
