Good luck We hunt in the heart of Pa bear country and there is absolutely nothing we have ever put out that a bear wouldn't eat. But up there it doesn't seem to bother the deer. Last weekend we had a 300 lb boar come in to feed at the corn and not long after he left in came 2 doe and a ten point. So it seems as though they have shared the woods for so long they get used to each other but still keep their distance.
