Cougar Tracks
These tracks were photographed, measured and followed by a local Wyben MA resident who spotted them behind his house. He and followed the tracks along the ledges on Grindstone Mountain, located between Wyben (Westfield) Montgomery and Southampton. The cat was headed north, stopping to check out the ledges on the mountain.

December 2017
Here are some photos from a couple of my trail cam's before the batteries gave out. I hadn't walked in the woods since Thanksgiving, between Hunting Season then a series of snow storms, wind and bitter cold. Only two Bucks came through this season; a quick glimpse of a 10-pointer crossing the brook, and a younger 6 -pointer. Once the weather turned bad, the individual families joined together, making a group of six. I saw where the deer had dug through the deep snow under the Oak Trees, looking for food. The woods were criss crossed with the tracks of deer, a bobcat, a fisher-cat, fox, rabbit, squirrels, raccoon and porcupine.
