Feeding of wildlife including deer, raccoons, and feral cats is discouraged in Huntersville and can trigger nuisance enforcement. Bird feeders are allowed but must not attract bears or deer.
North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission prohibits baiting or feeding deer and bears in most circumstances under 15A NCAC 10B. Huntersville Code treats feeding that attracts nuisance wildlife as a property maintenance violation. Lake Norman shoreline residents near Ramsey Creek Park should avoid feeding waterfowl as it degrades water quality.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
