California Fish and Game Code and Tuolumne County rules prohibit feeding bears, deer, and other big-game wildlife in Twain Harte. Intentional or careless feeding through accessible trash is a serious offense in this Sierra Nevada community.
California Fish and Game Code section 251.3 prohibits intentionally feeding big-game mammals like bears and deer. In Twain Harte, where bear encounters are common, even unintentional feeding via unsecured trash, pet food, or birdseed left out can lead to enforcement action. CDFW may issue depredation warnings, and Tuolumne County code-enforcement officers may cite property owners maintaining attractants. Bear-resistant containers are strongly encouraged. Habituated bears that lose fear of humans often must be euthanized, so prevention is critical.
CDFW citation under Fish and Game Code; county nuisance abatement for attractants; misdemeanor possible for intentional feeding causing public-safety hazard.
