Question: Can game feeders be used on private property if pulled down prior to hunting or the beginning of hunting season?
Answer: No. Feeding wildlife with a game feeder in California is illegal for several reasons. First, game feeders usually broadcast grain on a timer system and are primarily designed for big game. The feeding of big game is specifically prohibited by regulation (CCR Title 14, Section 251.3). Second, feeding wild animals in a manner that changes their behavior is considered harassment (CCR Title 14, Section 251.1). Finally, there are strict rules regarding bait, the definition of a baited area and the restrictions that apply to the take of wildlife related to a feeder (CCR Title 14, Section 257.5).Question: Can game feeders be used on private property if pulled down prior to hunting or the beginning of hunting season?
