just googled it .looks small&nasty
Doesn’t look like it because of the way they’re tracking, but it could be I guess.
They’re kin to a weasel. Think of a pissed off ferret on crystal meth that’s five times larger and whose mommy didn’t love him. They’re no joke, and not any fun whatsoever at a weekend barbecue.
Same family, smaller version(Fisher). They may very well be raccoon tracks, I really don't know. I did however see a Fisher last summer in that same area. Must have been an adult male based on what I've read. I was just standing alongside the rc track contemplating track modifications, was full daylight, not sure what time it was. He came up the hill out of the woods, I don't believe he actually saw me. He was in no hurry, paused on the track with his nose up sniffing back and forth. Then crossed the track out onto the driveway and stopped, then came trotting back acrossed the track and disappeared into the woods again. I have a Bassett/Beagle mix that's around 40lb, she takes after her dad (me), AKA "thick" LOL. This thing was almost the size of her without the "extra".. we're in a rural area, hilltowns outside Albany.
That’s really cool. I’ve been here in southern Vermont for over 30 years and I’ve only ever seen one three times, and we have a pretty respectable population of them here. Every time was in bright daylight, too. They are pretty elusive creatures.
They do generally avoid people..must be smart.
yeah, we moved there from the 'burbs so, some adapt better than others
They sold and moved on, wife and I will never leave. We love hanging out on our deck naked by the pool!! We call it "chunky dunking"
Yes indeed, I’m very glad we don’t have a Fisher problem like we have a bear problem.They do generally avoid people..must be smart.
My brother and sister in law's had a place with 50 acres just up the road from us. They had several fisher sightings while walking their property. Along with black bears getting in their garbage. My brother in law was so paranoid of the Fishers he wouldn't go in the woods without a gun.
I've watched a few YT vids of them, sound evil!! Fox too..we had what I think was a fox a couple years back shrieking up a storm in the woods after dark. Sounded like a devil baby out there, close too, really eerie.. they say there's no mountain lions in my region too, many claim to have seen them though. I don't doubt they're here. That scares me more than anything else, mountain lions.
Whoever filmed that has some brass balls?!
Brass balls or a gun just in case. I'd of been running the other way for sure. Glad we don't have critters like that around here!Whoever filmed that has some brass balls?!
We hear the same thing here in VT. Our mountain lions, catamounts, have declined in population pretty drastically in past decades but there are still sightings. I definitely don’t want to mix it up with a mountain lion, coyote, fisher, weasel, honey badger, or my wife if she’s in a particularly bad mood. Live and let live, man.
That’s freaking insane, man. Who the hell took that cell phone vid and didn’t budge? Wow. Braver than me. Especially considering that badger just took down a fully grown goat, ate what he wanted, and took the head to cook down later for goat stock. Probably going to be seasoned with missing pets, chickens, and that city kid that went missing last month…
