Previous Sightings Information

Deer do not stay in the same place. Please be cautious around areas where sightings have been reported.
Additionally, there have been no reports of contact with humans or potential human injuries, so deer will be monitored as wildlife under the Wildlife Protection and Management Law. However, wild deer may become dangerous if they get used to humans, such as when people try to harm them or feed them.
