The Department of Environmental Conservation (department) finds that the intentional feeding of wild white-tailed deer or wild moose is not in the public interest, and will unnaturally concentrate wild white-tailed deer or wild moose and thereby lead to environmental harm including: destruction of natural habitat; disruption of natural movements; increased risks for introduction, transmission or spread of disease; and alterations of behavior in wild white-tailed deer or wild moose that may increase danger to people or damage to property, or both. The purpose of this Part is to: define the limited circumstances and lawful practices by which wild white-tailed deer or wild moose may be intentionally fed but not result in unnatural concentrations or environmental harm; to require that commercially produced foods for attracting or feeding deer or moose be labeled with a warning about the feeding prohibition; and to provide a clear procedure for the authorization and use of automated feeding devices to dispense 4-Poster^TM Tickicide for control of ticks on deer that may transmit disease to humans.
