It happens. Rarely. More chance of being struck by lightning while sitting in the tree. Way more chance of being killed on the road driving to the hunting area.
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

If you encounter a bear that attacks...
Stop... pull pistol.... shoot in face...
PS.. Bears climb trees too

Sow with cubs is the wrong bear to be around.

Bear attack: 1 in 36,000,000 Lightning strike: 1 in 240,000 Well apparently those odds aren't a great prediction of Bear attacks vs Lighting strikes in NM this year, for what ever reason. If hunting NM this year probably best to be a little extra careful, just a heads heads up to everyone hunting NM.

Sow with cubs is the wrong bear to be around. . Yelp I found it odd she went up tree though. With mild winters and great rains betting very high recruitment year.

I don't find it odd if she was with cubs, they are pretty damn protective. I have two buddies that ran into a sow with cubs on a tight trail, she stood and snapped as the cubs ran, then she followed them. Buddie said she was small and young, probably why they didnt get an [censored] woop'n. A sow with cubs, or old toothless bears are the ones I worry about when I'm out by myself

"Stuff" happens, if you are out in the wilds, anything can happen. You can only be prepared for so many circumstances, it is the one you didn't anticipate that can or will hurt you. You can wear snake boots, but they are only a safety factor, it doesn't mean you will be standing up when a snake strikes you in the butt.

According to the updated NOAA stats, 24 people have been struck and killed by lightning in 2015 so far, not that facts always matter http://www.lightningsafety.noaa.gov/fatalities.shtml

I don't care what the odds are. I take my .454 if I don't have a rifle. I'll shoot the lightning, too.

After the email alert from NM, I'm taking it as a sign The second updated article is better and has a map The time your are going is the best time to have a tag IMO, they are out eating 24/7 darn near, so, could be the year AND now you have a tag

BTW, 2 years ago when I killed my elk, the plan was to sit on the gut pile and bear hunt (had a tag), I slept in and when going up for the afternoon hunt, the pile had been eaten and was drug about 30 yards, bear tracks everywhere
