I don't bear hunt but I do have lots of cams out for deer and over the years have hundreds of bear pics.  My experience is that bears notice the cams much more often than deer, even when placed high, and your best bet is to go with a black flash.  It could be 10 ft up a tree they will see the IR or flash.  Deer get spooked by flash or IR sometimes, bears get curious....and they can climb.

Im a blackout fan. bear will find no matter what, I started with flash, then IR still have 1 of those, good cam, but im sold on the black out. the less unnatural disturbance the better. even tho they know this thing on the tree that smell like man or bait aint nautral, if it aint flashing or blinking red every half dozen times or more a minuet, the better.
