Unincorporated Guadalupe County does not prohibit feeding wildlife. Feeding deer is legal and common in the ranch country between Seguin and the cities. No county ordinance bans it, though feeding that draws a nuisance or a rabies-vector animal can create liability.
The county has no ordinance banning the feeding of deer, birds, or other wildlife in unincorporated areas, and deer feeders are a routine part of rural Guadalupe County properties. Texas Parks and Wildlife regulates baiting only in the context of hunting seasons and licensing, not backyard feeding. The real cautions are practical: feeding that concentrates deer near roads increases collisions, and intentionally feeding high-risk rabies-vector animals such as skunks, foxes, or raccoons is unwise. HOA deed restrictions and cities may impose their own feeding limits within their boundaries.
The county issues no wildlife-feeding citations in unincorporated areas. Feeding that becomes a documented nuisance, or that violates state hunting-bait rules during a hunt, can draw enforcement from the relevant authority.
