What is it?

[Bolt Action]

Got this on cam recently. My first thought was why the hell is a wolverine walking around in my woods?! This was the only picture I got of it.  Any thoughts on what it might actually be? It's not likely a mountain lion.  Maybe a house cat? The legs and feet look strange though.. Hilton area, NW of Rochester.

I vote fisher

[Bucksnbows]

Fisher 100%

[Bucksnbows]

Their numbers are really exploding in their former range. I’ve seen them in NY and NJ. Frequently in upstate NY 

[mowin]

Yep, fisher. 

[G-man]

Fisher!

[Bucndoe]

As stated above, Fisher

That's cool.  Never seen one or had one on camera before.

Bad news for turkey and small game.

They prefer porcupines and often are found near larger stands of pines.

saw one (or two?) several times during deer season. One night i saw two together (sort of). Highlight of my season.

They will eat almost anything. I've caught them on fish, venison, and beaver. The worse it smells, the better

We've got plenty of them around.  3 different swamps with lots of pines. 

Still have tons of turkeys.
