turkeyfeathers Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Sad it got thwacked by a car. I saw my first one in 9H this year , trail cam pics and cut tracks two years leading up to this year. I remember quite a few people commenting on the live from the woods thread of seeing their first one too. Definitely more in areas they weren't a few years ago.

Paula Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 I think I seen a dead one on rte 77 near 20a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy K Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I saw my first one this past archery season, it was still before legal shooting time so the light was dim but I could make out the suloette as it walked under my stand. I had one on the trail camera by that stand also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grampy Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 On one of my hunting properties, it is common to see them during bow season. On another property I see them mostly in the winter. They are one of the coolest critters to watch in the woods! Saw the first one in my area about 20 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobC Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 +2 For Perrysburg. Got them on cameras and 2 years ago another one got hit by a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmp209 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I've seen a few here on the pa/NY border over that last 10-15 years and seem to get at least one on camera every year. We actually just called one in Saturday night while predator hunting. Seems like they're becoming more common around my area each year but still aren't seen very often.

Adkhunter1590 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 They are cool animals. I think one might of got into my chicken coop almost a year ago and killed a few of my chickens but I haven't had any problems since then. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveboone Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 They are pretty common around here. I watched a big one for about 15 minutes marking his borders and doing a dust bath. Cool. I was surprised he never saw me. I picked one up off the road , it had just been hit. I couldn't see it going to waste, so my taxidermist did the hide for me. Certainly no where near the majesty of when it was live. I take great satisfaction in how efficient they are on thinning the cat population. They certainly do much less damage to my partridge then the darn cats do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turkeyfeathers Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 My trail cam pic Buddy and son trapped this big male up in Messina this year I read mountain lions and fisher are only 2 animals in lower 48 that will kill and eat a porcupine Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TACC Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 That is the biggest fisher I have ever seenSent from my 9006W using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airedale Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Fishers do kill and eat Porcupines, as a long time hunter that uses dogs I have had more incidents with Porkys than I care to remember and several like the poor dog below. Keeping Porcupine numbers in check makes the Fisher a friend to me and my hunting dogs, I would like to see more of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zag Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I've had two sighting in the last few months, the first during how he climbed a maple tree in front of me looked around and went back down. A few weeks ago I setup on a ridge at dawn to coyote hunt. 30sec in I see something coming my way, my excitement of a coyote quickly turned to what the heck is coming.. a Fisher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doewhacker Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Here's one from yesterday and his dinner the porky. I love the fact that they take out porcupines and other undesirables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
