The pics are 2 hours apart and one looks bigger maybe they are a breeding pair we have been seeing them for 3 years in several differant stands.

I love fishers.  They are the only animal known to successfully kill and eat porcupines which are the most destructive rodents God created.  I used to have a great big fisher working around my hunting camp and was thrilled whenever I saw evidence of his work: a pile of quills and 4 paws on the ground.  Those porkys will eat anything, plywood, tires, radiator hoses, aluminum, implement handles, tractor steering wheels and they have no known enemies except fishers and me.

I've got a bunch of them. I wouldn't kill one either. I've seen them on stand a few times, pretty cool to watch them working.

Fischer can only be trapped in NY, no hunting for them. I see them once in a while; one came running up after I did some turkey calls a few Springs ago.

You can do either down here. Although I have never seen one in real life.

Out here cougars eat a lot of the porkys too but fishers are cool! I wish we had more of them here around my place.

When I used to hunt up in North Yarmouth I saw one 2 years in a row...same spot.  As it was wallkig it was making some very gnarly sounds...maybe it was PO that I was in his territory.

A funny thing my dad has seen that fisher cat all season in his stand but no deer.
Dad moved his stand about 1/4 mile across the hill 75yrd from my stand and guess what the fisher is right there we both saw it Sat morning but no deer I think it's following him. I always see at least a doe I think I'll take his stand down and tell him to start trapping instead of deer hunting.

maineduckhunter,  thanks for the close up pic. I trapped 1 of those the other day, and was not sure what it was. He / she was helping itself to too many fish from my pond. Does anyone know if relocated , do they try to return the few miles to where it was caught or just adapt to the new surroundings,  ( same type of terrain, big pond, and some woods).  BTW  while carrying the trap over to my pickup, this thing let out quite a high pitch scream or squeal, kinda sounded like one of those bottle rockets from the 4th . And what a stink this thing had...musky kind of smell,  I am guessing a male ?
