Me and a few other greenscreeners are headed to Manitoba this weekend for a week to bowhunt for bears. You guys that have been before, any suggestions what to bring? Trying to decide if I should pack my knee high rubber boots. Also, what did ya'll bring to the stands? Any must haves or suggestions would be appreciated.

as stated above...thermocell, book, rain coat in backpack, stuff to keep you entertained. If it was like my hunt, you'll sit in the stand for 6-8+ hours. Also, our guide explained to us that bears do what bears want to do. Basically you can't fool their nose so don't try and once they make up their mind to come to bait, they will come no matter if you smell like teen spirit or a rotten beaver.

Layering your clothing will protect most of you from the insects. I would get some of the Avon Skin-so-soft wipes with Picardin repellent. Definitely a head net for mosquitos/black flies just to keep them at a distance from your eyes, and gloves to prevent them from eating up your hands on stand.
