2010 Quabbin Deer Hunt Begins

The first 2-day segment of the 2010 Quabbin Controlled deer hunt successfully removed 60 deer from the watershed. Thanks to the more than 500 hunters, DCR staff, EPO's and our Moose survey volunteers who safely covered the 16,000 acres of the Prescott and New Salem blocks of the Quabbin Watershed.
