Default 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..

Plant liberals ,
deer love the smell of something pissy , and even a NJ bear won't eat a liberal .

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.
