Colorado prohibits feeding big game wildlife including deer, elk, and bears under Parks and Wildlife regulations. The ban applies statewide and preempts permissive local practices.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission regulation 2 CCR 406-0 #004 prohibits intentional feeding of big game (deer, elk, pronghorn, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, moose, bear, mountain lion) statewide. Bird feeders and ungulate-attractant practices in bear country are also restricted under local bear ordinances. C.R.S. 33-6-131 makes feeding violations a misdemeanor. The prohibition serves disease prevention (CWD) and human-wildlife conflict reduction. Localities may add stricter bear-attractant rules.
Big game feeding violations carry fines starting at $137 plus license suspension points; repeat offenses escalate to higher fines and potential hunting license revocation.
