Denton County has no wildlife feeding ordinance. Deer feeding is legal on private land. TPWD manages wildlife statewide. Federal law restricts baited migratory bird hunting.
Unincorporated Denton County does not regulate wildlife feeding through county ordinance. Texas Parks and Wildlife manages all wildlife resources. Feeding white-tailed deer on private land is common in rural Denton County and is legal, though deer feeders near public roads can create traffic hazards and may be addressed by the Sheriff. Hunting over bait is legal in Texas (unlike many states), so feeders serve both viewing and hunting purposes. Feral hog populations are significant in rural Denton County, particularly along Lewisville Lake and Ray Roberts Lake corridors. Hog trapping and hunting do not require a hunting license on private property where the landowner gives permission. Feeding migratory birds (doves, waterfowl) to create a baited hunting area violates federal law under 50 CFR 20.21. Bird feeders for songbirds are unrestricted. Coyote and bobcat feeding is discouraged by TPWD but not illegal in unincorporated areas.
No county violations for wildlife feeding. Federal baited migratory bird hunting: fine up to $15,000 and six months imprisonment under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. TPWD hunting violations vary by species.
