Help! Bears are eating all the corn

Newtopia said:

My parents are building a cabin in north georgia and we have been putting out corn to attract wild life. We hade been averaging @ 50lbs of corn a week so I put a trail cam on the feeder to see what was going on. Turns out I got alot more pics of bears than deer. Is there a food that deer like and bears don't? Maybe alfalfa cubes or some other domestic animal feed? Thanks for the input.

Your gonna think this is harsh, but sometimes it is what it is...................................What else do you expect in "bear" country....................And all the folks that move up here wonder why the bears are tearing down the screen doors to get into the dog food and corn cans................... Best thing to do is to quit feeding the animals......................When you call DNR to request something be done with the "nuisance" bear they will pretty much tell you the same thing. Then trapping the bear and moving it does no good they just return or go to another yard for a free hand out.............Then the next thing you know that bear will have to be killed................There are a ton of acorns in the woods for the deer and bear to eat on..........Once a bear learns to get a free handout they are too lazy to go back to nature for the real thing and hence the problems start..............
