Deer Spotted In Uptown Hoboken, Police Give Advice

HOBOKEN, NJ — More wildlife has been spotted in cities since the pandemic, and Hoboken's no exception. On Saturday, police said they were getting reports about deer uptown, and gave some advice.

"We are aware of the deer in the uptown area," they wrote on social media. "We have contacted DEP & wildlife and advised them. Wildlife is not responding. We were advised to leave the wild animals alone and now one should approach them or feed them."

In May 2020, deer were spotted running through the streets early in the morning. They are also often seen in the Palisades hills leading up to Jersey City Heights.

Last year, Hoboken residents even spotted a fox and/or coyote around town (see photos and decide for yourself.)
