Yes. In my science non-fiction book called Follow the Polar Bears, there was a snow wolf and two polar bear cubs and their mother, and their mother smelled danger in the air. There were two snow wolves and because there was danger in the danger came from the wolves -- because the wolves eat bears.

Occasionally, bears will find and eat wolf pups, but it is extremely rare that they will hunt out an adult. Full grown wolves are extremely fast, and have been known to attack and kill adult bears. Wolves are much more aggressive and team oriented than bears, and are therefore too much for a bear to take on at once. Bear are usually solitary creatures and eat berries, grubs, fish, insects, and small prey such as rabbits or the fawns of elk and deer.
Sometimes, a bear will hunt down a baby wolf, (If it can find one). It's very rare for a bear to hunt a adult wolf, though.

I'd say no. I doubt a bear has ever been documented killing a baby wolf. Brown bears rarely hunt, they eat mostly nuts, berries, grasses, insects, and alot of insects. Some do hunt ground squirrels and elk, but don't confuse hunting with conflicts with other conflicts over food. Big bears steal kills from wolves, depending on how big the bear is and how many wolves are there, but it's not a matter of who kills who. Wolves are too fast for a bear to catch, and the large bears are too powerful for wolves to kill. After a period of feints and conflict, one will leave.

Wolves would probably want to avoid a healthy adult bear; but a sick or injured bear, or a bear cub without its mother might be taken down by a wolf pack.
