North Carolina regulates wildlife feeding through Wildlife Resources Commission rules, with statewide bear feeding restrictions and prohibitions on baiting that apply uniformly across all counties.
Under 15A NCAC 10B regulations adopted under N.C.G.S. 113-291.1 authority, the Wildlife Resources Commission prohibits intentional feeding of black bears statewide. Feeding wildlife in ways that create a public nuisance or endanger humans may violate state law. Baiting deer with processed food is restricted in many areas. The WRC retains authority over wildlife management uniformly, while local governments may adopt complementary nuisance ordinances. Property owners attracting bears via unsecured garbage or feeders may face enforcement.
Class 3 misdemeanor for unlawful baiting or feeding; civil penalties up to $300; equipment seizure
