I just googled for an update on this story and it seems that a bear with cubs may have been attracted by deer parts laying around but the woman's chihuahua chased after a cub which led to the woman being grabbed by the momma bear.

They were not able to trap the bear and now they can not positively identify it so the have decided to just let it go. It may be hibernating by now and they have no good way to identify it.

The woman was in serious condition but is recovering.
