Anyone has some advice on how to get the bears out of the area? I stopped feeding about a week ago I hopes that they move to another area to find other food. Thanks in advance!

The private lands biologist in your area is based out of New Iberia. Mike Drewry, he deals with the bears. I fish with him occasionally. Unless its a nuisance though, not sure if there is anything they can do. LDWF has a pamphlet out on how to deal with bears, it may be on their website. If you are around Avery Island, they are not uncommon there and are pretty common closer to Cypremort Point they can be a nuisance in the trashcans there. Stopping with the feeding is definitely a good start. Once that sugarcane in that area gets harvested though, they go back to the woods where the acorns are.
