I hunt an apple orchard and I have seen deer and bear within 70 yards of each other chowing happily. I have taken several deer and half dozen bears up there. You should be fine.

Last year, and this year too, at our feeders, we have had about the same number of pictures of bears and deer with tracks inside of each other. We haven't noticed any kind of problem with it, other than bait disappearing faster.

Bears sometimes stumble upon fawns that are hidden or wounded deer and kill them but other than that not much to worry about.

I have had bear come through and then shot deer right after. They are used to eachother. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
This year they are having a second bear season that runs w/ bow.
