TELL US: Where Are You Seeing Deer on Monmouth County Roads?
Caution your neighbors on highly populated sections of Monmouth County roads.
This week, the Department of Environmental Protection warned New Jersey residents that with mating season upon us, deer will become more erratic on New Jersey roads.
“White-tailed deer are on the move and unpredictable during this season,” said Division of Fish and Wildlife Director David Chanda. “Deer are much more likely to dart into roads without warning at this time of year. Drivers should be extra alert to avoid collisions that could result in injuries and damage to their vehicles.”
While the Monmouth County Parks System allows hunting on county ground as a means of controlling the deer population, car accidents involving deer are still high in numbers.
"We are not out there hunting just because we want to, we are really seriously trying to manage the deer population," said Karen Livingstone, Public Information Officer for the Monmouth County Parks System.

Several deer seen crossing Tennent Road in Morganville as night fell....and also Dwight Road in Middletown at 5 p.m., when it was still light out!
I don't think it was the same ones. :)

All along Topanemus Road from Robertsville through the woods and all the way down past the Dugan school. Also on Ryan Road between Robertsville and all the way to Route 9.

They are particularly numerous late in the evening and very early in the morning, but they can be seen in the middle of the day as well.

From north of 520 and Route 34, and Route 34 southward, there are plenty of deer to be seen in the woods or fields.
Please be careful, as Each year deer each year that kill 200 Americans, whereas sharks have killed 10 people in the USA in the past 10 years. In New Jersey, such accidents are becoming more common every year.
Sadly, to avoid serious injury, don't swerve. Slow down as quickly as possible, without slamming the brakes and skidding. When you swerve, you increase the chances of losing control of your car, injuring yourself, hitting another car, and hitting that deer in the road.

as Dee states. There are so many deer, that it may be more prudent to ask where we haven't seen deer. In the last week I've had them on rte 36 in middletown (belford and highlands), rte 520, phalanx rd, holland road...and others.

SO True !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where are earth should they go when we take every piece of land to build more condos and houses. I myself would love to see townships start saying no to builders and yes to conserving what little space we have left. On Hwy 36 in Middletown Im shocked at how many townhouses are going up right on the hwy so when someone says that they don't want to be hunting the deer but must for the safty reasons Think why that Is??????????????? Start speaking up instead of complaining.

There is a house by the Middletown train station, right off Middletown-Lincroft road on Holland that has a salt lick in the front yard. This results in deer constantly congregating in the yard (I've seen as many as 8) and bounding across the road in a very busy area - definitely a hazard.

Why don't they move the deer crossing signs to less busy roads? The poor things.
(No, I'm not serious.)

I have seen themwalking along Church Street in Matawan, right before the church on the corner across fromm the firehouse and going into the small group of trees before and after the parkway bridge in Holmdel.

An active deer crossing in Middletown is Kingsway East just to the east of Sleepy Hollow Road, their activity has been increasing lately.

I saw one lone deer last week on Park Ave in Middletown. No idea as to where it came from as this is mostly all housing and very little woods. Almost hit one a few years ago on Leonardville Road right under the Navy overpass. You never know where you'll find them, just be alert for them at all times.

Huge herd on 520 between Route 34 and 79...you can see them at dusk on the Camp Arrowhead field and they jump out at you going east down the big hill to Route 34i. There is also a mini-herd of about 10-12 practically in downtown Little Silver on Prospect Ave. Be careful near the firehouse!

Yes - 520 between 34 and 79 is home to so many deer! I see them every time I head that way, day or night.

Everywhere in Hills-Estates of Holmdel (vic Telegraph and Centerville Rds). They hang out on front lawns both in small groups and herds of 10 - 15. Talk about "defensive driving!" - It makes sense to assume that there will be deer ahead at every turn or bend in the road. (Keeps us all below the residential speed limit).

Not that it is overly local, however, it shows how far wildlife can travel. According to the Jersey Shore Hurricane news on Facebook, there is a bear in the Camp Evans area of Wall Twp. If a bear can get there, I'm sure they'd have no issues reading Homdel, etc.

Every morning this week I have encountered deer on Stavola Drive and Sleepy Hollow Rd. The area on Sleepy Hollow is posted deer area. I have been told this area is part of a deer path.

Silverside Ave, Little Silver and Rumson Road in Rumson. I drive with my hand over the horn in case one jumps out. The honk is the only thing that gets them out of the road quickly.
