Waukesha County does not set a general wildlife-feeding ban for residents; rules come from state DNR regulations and local ordinances. Wisconsin restricts feeding deer and bear in parts of the state to control chronic wasting disease, and many Waukesha County municipalities prohibit feeding that attracts deer or nuisance wildlife. Check
There is no single Waukesha County wildlife-feeding ordinance covering all residents. At the state level, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources regulates and, in CWD-affected counties, bans or restricts baiting and feeding of deer; Waukesha County has been subject to DNR deer baiting-and-feeding restrictions, so verify the current DNR rule for the county. Separately, many Waukesha County cities and villages prohibit feeding that attracts deer, waterfowl, or other nuisance wildlife, or that creates a rodent or safety problem. County parks also prohibit feeding wildlife. Because rules change with CWD status, confirm the current DNR baiting-and-feeding regulation and your municipality's ordinance before feeding any wild animals.
DNR baiting/feeding violations carry state forfeitures; municipal wildlife-feeding bans and park rules are enforced by local citation.
