100% DEET works well. Although I don' t advise repeated applications of it on bear skin as it is a carcinogen so you should just apply it to your clothing.

Cat urine sure does the trick for us. Mix it with some water though.

Here is a good idea that a friend showed me when I hunted in VA. When you get back to your truck or cabin, take a lint roller adn roll it over your clothing, it removed every tick that was crawling on me. It really works well.
Just a tip to help keep you healthy, Pat
