Go in with a bear tag and if the opportunity arises, do the deer a favor. Dont be afraid to fill your freezer with meat even if the quarry isn't packing fuzzy antlers.
We all bitch about how bad bears are for the deer population yet we have guys here almost advising against taking one while deer hunting. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me especially since the amount of meat you get from a bear can easily double that of a blacktail.
And yes your hunt will (and should) be over when you harvest an animal of any kind. Meat becomes first priority and since I'm certain that you cannot pack both a bear and a deer out from 7-9 miles deep without multiple packers or multiple grueling trips there's no reason to continue hunting after the first harvest. That should go without saying yet here I am saying it.

Get your boots on the ground and good luck. I hope your freezer space is limited after the season.
Definitely bringing a bear tag!
