Big fisher

[Spaceman Spiff]

My brother had a nice fisher walk through the other day. Beautiful animals i think.

they are so unique.  We have a lot of them where i hunt and always neat to watch them.   They make quite a ruckus climbing trees.

Love seeing fishers in the woods! Cool critters.

Interesting critters.  I once watched one stalk a big tom while he was gobbling on roost. I was torn... do I spook the tom so he doesn't get eaten, or do I watching what happens if the fisher was successful 50' up a tree?  Tommy spotted him as soon as the fisher hit the limb he was on and busted out of there.  Seen them chase squirrels up a tree which makes one heck of a racket...

As a trapper my thought seems to wander in the beauty along with dollar signs LOL, in 2013 that Fisher pelt was worth $150-200.

Edit; Top lot was $750

That looks like a pretty big one. Did a rug for a guy last season

Have lots on cams here in Steuben County. Would love to kill one and have it made into a rug

I could help you with that!

Fisher are tough animals for sure. Any animal not afraid of a face full of porcupine quills has my respect. Their cousins the wolverines are one of the toughest animals pound for pound there are anywhere. The Mustelidea family (weasels) are all amazing animals.

I love catching them and they stink a bit too
