Any idea how the take out a porcupine? Are they just that fast? Honey badger tough?

I have heard that too. However, witnesses to actual attacks say they bite and grab the face with their teeth, holding on until they die of shock or blood loss. It sounds like a horrible way to go.

Heard something similar.
Since 99 % of the quills are on their rear end . They run circles around them make them get dizzy then dive into their bellies and just rip it apart

Not a fisher but just checked a cam out back and found these bobcat pics. There was one going by a little after 11pm just last night!

Correction to my above post. I think I might have 3 bobcats in there. I didn't see the set of eyes in the background the first go around. Looks like I might have more bobcats around than I thought

Caught one crawling out of a fox hole the other day.

Only the 2'nd pic of one of these things I've ever got and both from this winter.

First one wasn't far from here but over a carcass. Seeing their tracks everywhere lately!

I stand corrected. Mountain lions , fisher and Rick Grimes all kill porcupines

Was out Monday morning in Putnam Valley 3N gunning for yotes and called in a Fisher. First one ever for me in Putnam County. Seen plenty of tracks in snow so he's been around for a while.
