As for the c'mere deer it does not work on deer so that's probably why they sell it. ;D ;D The other stuff sounds like entrapment to me.

It may be illegal to use it but not illegal to sell it.

Don't want to see anyone get in trouble. ;) From DEC:

187.1 Black bear feeding.

(a) "Purpose." The purpose of this section is to protect public safety while conserving New York's black bear populations. The deliberate, intentional feeding of black bears is prohibited. The incidental, indirect feeding of black bears becomes unlawful once a written warning has been issued by the department.

Good post Captain!! I was on the way to look for it until I got to yours. Yup guys even your bird feeder is illegal if it attracts
bears and they have a problem with them.

After further research I see where I made my mistake.  I was confusing the bear tracking with dogs with bear baiting. My bad.

(i) A black bear tracking dog license issued by the department entitles the licensee to train and use certified black bear tracking dogs to track, trail, pursue and tree black bears from July 1 until nine days before the opening of any bear hunting season in the wildlife management unit where certified black bear tracking dogs are being used. The licensee must also possess a current license authorizing him or her to hunt black bear in New York. A licensee may also assist with controlling damage caused by black bears as provided in subdivision (e) of this section.

yup, my friend owns an apartment complex and the bears were getting into his dumpster, so he called dec and they told him to put an electric fence around it, and if he didnt he would be ticketed for feeding bears
