Effective Sept. 1, it is illegal to feed deer statewide in Virginia.
The annual prohibition runs through the first Saturday in January.
This regulation does not restrict the planting of crops, such as corn and soybeans, wildlife food plots, and backyard or schoolyard habitats. It is intended to curb the artificial feeding of deer that leads to negative consequences, according to the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries.
