keeping bears away,from deer food piles
 
Hows it going,I live in new jersey and for those of you who hunt here you know there are way to many bears. I like putting out bait piles to bring in the does,we know what follows them.But the bears seem to like the food also,Is there anything out there I could use to Feed the deer that the bear do not like..

I found that a 300 Weatherby keeps the bears from returning. I'm kidding, of course.

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.
