Bear hunting tips

[HANDGUNNER]

Hello I'm new to the board. I've been reading the threads and I've picked up allot. I'm huntin black bear over bait next month and lookin for advice on scent, best hours... I hunted a good site last year and never got a shot. This year I'm going up north (NH) for a week and I don't wanna make any mistakes.

I looking at a set of camo coveralls and there is a big price difference between the scent lock suits and regular suits. Is the scent lock worth the price, or will a washing with no scent soap and some masking spray be just as effective? As far as hours in the stand go, some one told me not to bother with sitten in the morning, just concentrate on the afternoon/evening, less human scent to and from the stand by only going once a day. Any advice, I want to make the most of my time and not miss any opportunities.
