We will see if aerosols are legal to put out by non hunters.

Must have been a long time ago, he is a Lt. now.Nothing yet.
Sent the question to Sgt Andrew Helton of District 9.
Must have been a long time ago, he is a Lt. now.
Yep.............But it would be irrelevant where he was stationed. The G.S. is the same.He might be.
I have his contact info from some years ago.
Is he even working still in D-9 then?
Yep.............But it would be irrelevant where he was stationed. The G.S. is the same.
The only regulation on food sources or attractants is listed below under NCGS 113-294(r). It solely deals with placing processed foods or attractants when placed as bait. Under this regulation, the placing of an artificial attractant would be illegal if you are placing it to bait the bear into an area.
(r) It is unlawful to place processed food products as bait in any area of the State where the Wildlife Resources Commission has set an open season for taking black bears. For purposes of this subsection, the term "processed food products" means any food substance or flavoring that has been modified from its raw components by the addition of ingredients or by treatment to modify its chemical composition or form or to enhance its aroma or taste. The term includes substances modified by sugar, honey, syrups, oils, salts, spices, peanut butter, grease, meat, bones, or blood, as well as extracts of such substances. The term also includes sugary products such as candies, pastries, gums, and sugar blocks, as well as extracts of such products. Nothing in this subsection prohibits the lawful disposal of solid waste or the legitimate feeding of domestic animals, livestock, or birds. The prohibition against taking bears with the use and aid of bait shall not apply to the release of dogs in the vicinity of any food source that is not a processed food product as defined herein. Violation of this subsection constitutes a Class 2 misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not less than two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00).
