Intentional feeding of wildlife (deer, coyotes, raccoons) prohibited to prevent nuisance and public safety issues. Bird feeders permitted if maintained to avoid attracting other wildlife.
Suwanee and Gwinnett County discourage wildlife feeding due to problems with deer overpopulation, coyote habituation, and raccoon/rodent nuisances. GA DNR regulations prohibit baiting of deer in most circumstances. Bird feeders are generally permitted but must be maintained — owners may be cited if feeders attract rats, bears, or become a public nuisance. Feeding of feral cats may also be regulated under nuisance provisions.
Typically nuisance citations starting at $50-$100. Escalating penalties for repeat offenses. DNR wildlife violations separate.
