Where in Fairlawn?

Don't know if it's because I am searching but I have been seeing more deer this year than I can remember. I hope the bucks stick around....it's coming soon!

I saw a small buck in Fairlawn back in the 1980's while jogging though Dunkerhook park. There is a greenway of county parks that run along the Saddle River between Glen Rock and Saddle Brook. Dunkerhook is part of that.

Looks like they need to open Bergen C0. parks to bow hunting!  LOL

Nice one!

Guess I have to head toward the city to get pics of big bucks.

Wow!

High Mountain in North Haledon; Wayne; & Franklin Lakes is loaded with deer, but they all have no hunting  ordinances. I have been hiking there recently it's loaded with deer sign. I used to hunt there when I was a kid.

Back in the day it was much bigger, but the area known as "Pancake Holler" has been flooded with a reservoir and developed with upscale houses. Wm Paterson College has expanded the campus over the south east portion of the tract including the spot I shot my first deer back in the 60's

It's still a fairly large tract of land with well groomed hiking trails. The hike from the college to the top of High Mountain  is about 3-4 miles round trip with panoramic views of the Passaic Valley from the mountain top. The last time I did that trip I jumped a doe.

There is also a waterfall there we used to call Buttermilk Falls. When the water table is high enough it drops water about 50-75 feet. There are no trails going to it anymore, but it is about 50 yards off the access road that is the North Haledon entrance to the campus. If water is flowing in the winter with no leaves it can be seen from the access road if you look hard.

What kind of land?   They can say no hunting on twp and county lands but for private or state owned land a no hunting ordinance is un lawful
