Bear hunting in Canada

The creepiest thing I heard were the loons

Call your guide with any and all questions, including type of stands he has. I have been to New Brunswick 5 times and Quebec once for spring bears, and allways been happy. some guides will NOT want you to put up your own stand, some will be happy for you to. DO NOT use bug spray. It is a strong foreign odor. Buy a good bug suit from Cabelas (pants, jacket and hood), wear rubber boots and thin leather gloves, with a boonie cap on top, under the bug hood, THEN duct tape the wrist and ankles.

We started using Thermacells for bug repellents, and they work fantastic, bears don't seem to smell them. Particularly good in ghe ground blind, where you can usually do away with the head net all together. Not so much in a tree.  I prefer ground blinds (dome tent style)  by far (rifle) . You can move around much more easily, the bears cant see inside them, and a simple plastic yard chair will be much more comfortable for 6-8 hrs than any tree stand.

I did talk to him all of his stands are double ladder stands he has no ground blinds I was thinking that a thermacell would help but I wasn't sure if the bears would be able to smell it
