Davis County has no dedicated ordinance banning backyard wildlife feeding, but feeding deer and other big game is strongly discouraged by the state, and intentionally feeding wildlife that causes a nuisance or draws predators can trigger state and local action.
There is no specific Davis County ordinance that outright bans feeding songbirds or backyard wildlife. However, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources discourages feeding deer, elk and other big game because it spreads disease, habituates animals to neighborhoods and attracts predators; the state can address problem feeding. Feeding that creates a nuisance, sanitation problem, or rodent/predator attractant may be abated under the county's general nuisance provisions. Living along the Wasatch Front bench, residents should avoid leaving food that draws deer, raccoons or coyotes into residential areas.
No specific county feeding fine, but nuisance-abatement action is possible; state wildlife officers may intervene where feeding harms big-game herds.
