Deer feeding regulation

18 years ago

The Virginia Game and Fisheries department just added this regulation:

Add a new section 4 VAC 15-40-285 to make it illegal to feed or attract deer from September 1 through the first Saturday in January statewide and further make it illegal upon written notification by the Department for any person to continue feeding or attracting deer during this period.

I wonder if this applies to growing hosta:)

Only if you intend to weed with a shot gun :)

That's the bow hunting season. Very foolish. Watch out for a big increase in the population.
