ontario spring bear hunt

[gps2]

I take the first week of June off and make it a fishing/hunting trip. Just for fun I think I am going to take one with my Mosin.

Me too! Got my Mosin shooting like a laser beam and am hoping to kill a bear with it in Mayz

For the seasoned hunters what do you use for insect control? I'm afraid to use muskol as I'm taking nice rifles and a plastic stocked muzzleloader

Will thermocells be enough?

Thermocell is definitely the way to go.

Thermocell's work good in an enclosure or when there is no wind.

I've used them for mosquitos but do they work as well on black flies?

I'm planning on taking 2-3 out with me

High quality bug shirt and light leather gloves for me.

I am actually contemplating dusting off the bow to this one if I can get some practice time in...... It has been a while and bears make great bow fodder IMOP.......

I'm thinking of using a vintage Winchester lever gun. Either my 1886. 33WCF or my 1895 in. 35WCF. We'll be canoeing a river on the May Long Weekend, hoping to plug one off the shoreline. I have an 18 ft Novacraft Prospector that has yet to have blood in it. 105 days to go!!

good canoe, I use a 17' in the same.

I have some insect repellent from the CF, it works good. Just don't get it in your eyes. I used to use Amway D15 until they stopped adding "Repellent 11" that was banned in Canada. I dont know what was in Repellent 11 but to worked well.

Contains deet.... If you have plastic stocked guns, be careful .... It can have a bad effect on them...

I still have quite a bit of "deet" based repellents, nothing works as good. Although, I guess it was banned because it is carcenogenic? Lol
