It's not unusual to see deer in New Jersey. Spotting a Whitetail living on the cliffs of Weehawken, however, is rare. In fact, I have been walking and exercising in the that area for decades. I have never seen or heard of deer living in the area or passing through.
I was exercising on Sunday, February 19 using the stairs to Port Imperial Station when a man pointed out the young mammal about halfway down the steep hill, not far from the Dueling Grounds. He told me he first saw the deer two months ago. I came back later and recorded the video. I am no hunter so merely stepping on a dry crunchy leaf altered the deer to my presence. My cover was immediately blown.
According to various online sites, deer are herbivores. They apparently can survive in a winter jungle oasis surrounded by the asphalt of the sardine can known as Hudson County. Good going, Bambi.
The big unanswered question is how did this deer end up in Weehawken.
