New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 6 - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION › Chapter I - FISH AND WILDLIFE › Subchapter J - MISCELLANEOUS REGULATIONS › Part 186 - Migratory Bird Products › Section 186.1 - Findings and purpose

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
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 there by 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.
New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 6 - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION › Chapter I - FISH AND WILDLIFE › Subchapter J - MISCELLANEOUS REGULATIONS › Part 186 - Migratory Bird Products › Section 186.2 - Definitions

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
For the purposes of this Part, the following terms have
					 the indicated meanings:
(a) Automated
				  feeding devices" are devices that dispense food mate- rial, such as corn, and
				  dispense 4-Poster TM Tickicide (Environmental Protection Agency Registration
				  No. 39039-12, Special Local Need Registration SLN NY-120001) onto deer to kill
				  ticks.
(b) "Commercial deer foods"
				  means food or food products labeled or packaged as a product to be used for
				  feeding or attracting deer or moose, including those in packages that depict
				  hunters, hunting, live or dead deer or moose, or antlers, use camouflage or
				  bright orange coloration, or include words related to hunting, harvesting, or
				  attracting deer or moose.
(c) "Deer
				  or moose" means any free-ranging animal of Genus Cervus, Genus Odocoileus, or
				  Genus Alces.
(d) "Feed or feeding of
				  deer or moose" means to intentionally place or distribute food or food
				  products, or any act to maintain the availability of such material, resulting
				  in the attraction of deer or moose to a particular site or location and the
				  consumption by deer or moose of such material or the substrate on which it is
				  distributed. Placing or distributing commercial deer foods such that they are
				  accessible to deer or moose is presumptive evidence of intent to feed deer or
				  moose.
(e) "Food or food products"
				  means any material including but not limited to any powders, liquids, fruits,
				  vegetables, grains, minerals, or commercially produced foods made for
				  consumption by humans or domes- tic or wild animals.
(f) "Incidental or indirect feeding" means
				  using, placing, giving, ex- posing, depositing, distributing or scattering any
				  food or food products for a different purpose than feeding or attracting deer
				  or moose but that results in the attraction of one or more deer or moose. This
				  in cludes the use and storage of birdseed in a manner that is accessible to
				  deer or moose. This does not include normal agricultural or horticultural
				  practices.
(g) "Municipality" is a
				  State, County, Town or Village government official or agency
