ask a ranger about the stocking of moose here and they will look at you like you are nuts, but call any public TV station in Ontario and ask them for their documentary on the trapping of Algonquin Moose and the semi hauling of them to NY state and they will know what you are talking about.

same thing with mtn lions, some claim there are stocked lions in NY and wolves too, but no one i have ever met in years of this topic coming up has ever known anything about this 'stocking'.

I have followed up on 13 reports of mtn lions near me in the last few years even bringing my hounds along, and have never found any evidence of a lion, lots of fisher, bobcats and coyote sign right where they lion was suppossed to have been...no lion yet.

the only 4 cases of evidence that anyone accepts as probable lion sightings are reports made by DEC personel.
