Manitoba for a week, guided bear hunt 6 days, food and lodging. $2400.
What should I be looking for to help make the decision? The timing is very poor due to some work stuff due a couple of weeks later....
I'd guess Bugs might be getting bad by the Middle of May?

Don't have a lot of experience with Bear, Iowaian but I have Bow-Hunted Wild Russian Boar. gotta be careful, most times the Bear know you're around and are on their way to see what the hell is going on. They are likely to shove an arrow up your ass if it's not a good shot.
Mid May in Canada is a crap-shoot. Could be 80 degrees, could be 40?
Be ready for both.
Bugs in Canada are a real mother, went up 4 years ago in September for Caribou and was eaten to death. (Manitoba)
The closer to a large body of water the better you are, the cold air even in summer keeps them at bay, (in the morning anyway).
