my sons and myself one early evening spotted a young one with still it's spots crossing a road a few away
we also have one behind our house we only saw the prints
when asking our Fish and Game Dept there response unlikely
funny thing one of the Wardens we know supervised the release of a couple breeding pairs in the Quabbin area
I guess if they admit what they did the people here would freak out
Are you sure eDc??? It seems there are soo many myths about what has been or has not been released at the Quabbin I cant keep up? I dont doubt cougars are passing through, but release them??? Its not like we have population problems relative to, too much wildlife of any species. The last rumor I heard about Quabbin was that breeding rattlesnakes were released!?!? The only thing I know about the Quabbin is 1) is I believe the largest whitetail in state record was taken there 2) Its was way over hunted when they opened it up 3) The moose have moved in and the deer are basically gone.
Not doubting what you saw, but ite seems there is always a Quabbin story going around.
