There was some confirmed mountain lion scat found in the Ossipees a few years ago, although, again, they would not say whether the source was wild or "released." If you Google "mountain lion sightings new hampshire" or maine, you can find some really interesting discussions on the topic. I've been reading these things for years, ever since hearing that one was sited in & around the Ossipees many years ago, and there are some pretty credible sighting reports.
The naysayers will point to a lack of dead mountain lions found in the state, or confirmed road kills, photos, etc. But it seems the volume of reports from apparently reliable sources is way more than coincidence or folklore. Pretty cool!
