Agree on adding cover for the increased reproduction of FHM instead of introducing a new species.

I would try a cheap feeder. Put a solar electric fence around it that has a battery so it'll be live at night. They use a solar electric fence around campsites in bear country to keep the bears from destroying the camp. Brown bear territory, so they are larger than the black bears you have.
