This Fisher Appears To Be Posing For A Trail Camera Photo

I’ve been lucky to have crossed paths with many of our state’s wild animals over the years, but one that has eluded me thus far is the fisher. I’m not sure that’s a bad thing. Fishers are often regarded as the most vicious animals in the woods, pound for pound. They’re carnivores, and are among the few animals that prey on porcupines. That fact alone is enough to put the animal on my “don’t mess with this critter” list. The fisher shown in today’s trail cam photo doesn’t look too vicious.
