RE: moose in mass!
I saw one during the 1996 shotgun season...he was a small bull about 20 yards away..I was shocked and thought my friends would not beleive me back then. I have not seen one in MA since, but see the sign everywhere now. Lots of rubs and droppings, even some fur here and there. Its becoming a common thing in many parts of the state.

I know a few years back one got hit by a car in Raynham Mass on either RT. 18 or 44 I can't remember which. Story and photos were in the local news paper. Brockton Enterprize.. Now thats pretty far east almost to the cape. The fish and game denied it and were pretty red faced when this happened. I have seen them every now and then in FLa. Mass. as well. Again thats N. West Mass. where they say there is a large population.

Saw one the last day of muzzleloader in Blandford. Ran into our drive...
Walked up on 3 last year in Blandford as well. There was alsoa cow hanging out in East Lee quite a bit this hunting season... I got some pics on the disposable. Every year they are getting hit on the MassPike around Blandford / Otis. I know many guys who have seen them hunting out that way. There have been several hit in Lanesboro the past couple of years and one was actually hit a couple of months ago on Washington Mtn Road near the Becket line and another on 7/20 in Lenox early September this year too. Both were nice bulls too. |

Massachusetts roughly has a moose population of around 700-800 animals. They have been seen in Connecticut as well. The largest density is not in Western MA, it is in Northern Worcester County. Some people mistakenly shoot them for deerat the Quabbin hunt, so I've heard.

I've only heard of a moose being shot in the quabbin once, and it was when the state had just started putting on the Quabbin hunts. Personally, I have yet to see a moose. |

A moose, maybe more than one, was shot this past hunting season in quabbin.
