re: feed for deer/turkey -- something bears won't go after

The key to bears not fooling with any feed is to spread it and not concentrate or pile it. A deer and a turkey will pick it up one grain at a time. A Bear will not.

The bears will destroy the feeder that has the feed where I am located.

This ^.
On our place in Waterproof (Tensas) the bears have become abundant over the last decade and a half. Spread like mentioned above. Do not pile or it’ll disappear in short order.
Another option is build a serious feeder made from heavy metal. We made some and used 6” heavy wall pipe for the legs but we had to use a front end loader on tractor to stand. It works great. The bears can’t tip these heavy ones we made over and it slings corn perfectly and doesn’t pile.
Good luck
