I went on a bear hunt in Canada several years ago. I had a blast and you should too. The bugs were pretty bad, but not anything worse than what I'm used to here in the deep south. I wore bug spray b/c I'm of the belief that if an animal is downwind they will smell you whether you have bug spray on or not. Plus, I'm used to wearing it early bow season, its just a fact of life in the South.

The hardest thing for me to adjust to was the temperature changes up north. It would be 70 in the day and 40 at night.

I made a good shot on a beautiful chocolate phase bear and I will never forget the experience and the friends made while doing it. Have fun and just go hunt.!
