Deer in Belleville?

[bucky]

I took a ride to a jobsite today thats located on Route 21 , had to look twice but there were deer tracks going through the site. Couldn't believe my eyes, do any members live in Belleville, if so how's your deer herd?

[3Blade]

Yep they are there. Is this the site along 21 on main st/ river rd that they just cleared?

[3Blade]

Deer get plastered all the time on 21. They are even in Newark at branchbrook park and around the airport too… nuts

[bucky]

Spot burn lol

[3Blade]

That property they cleared was loaded with them

[BHC]

see them often 

[bucky]

It looked like a nice little piece, still a lot of tracks even though its cleared, they are amazing animals

[3Blade]

I feel bad because there really is no place else around there for them to go. No idea how they even got in there

Suburban Deer- Here is my take on them. OK- Whitetail deer have been here for millions of years. We have only built up this area in the last 300 years or so. 300 years is just a drop in the bucket compared to millions of years. The Whitetail deer is adapting to living among humans. Just like the squirrels and raccoons living in your attic. Like the geese at the parks and country clubs. The coyotes in NYC. The bears in Sussex County. Now its the Whitetails turn.

There in Branch Brook Park. They travel the Power lines, pipeline from the cemetery on Hoover an  Bloomfield, Hendrickson Montclair and Forest Hill golf courses. I used to see 140's. Used to be big old Tom turkeys too Mill Street and Franklin avenue the old J& J property.

If you look on google earth there is a power sub station on the north side of the property with set power lines heading west then zigs zags to the parkway and then heads north, it hooks up to a bunch of little fingers

Around that time around that area I used to have a camera out and feed them corn in a spot where no humans walked right around along the parkway by route 3. There were two brothers eight pointers. One had a bad limp on it one of its back legs I called him limpet.
