cas 154 Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) Long time listener, first time caller... The length of the tail has me unsure. Edited November 15, 2018 by cas Quote Shooting an inline is like kissing your sister. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XGX7PM 317 Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) My guess is Fisher, look at the ear size. Edited November 15, 2018 by XGX7PM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doc 6248 Posted November 15, 2018 Let me add another possibility....That tail looks a lot like an otter. Any water nearby? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
genesee_mohican 875 Posted November 15, 2018 That looks like a fisher. Mink and marten will have a shorter tail and are smaller animals. This fisher has a summer coat here, but will look much larger now with a full coat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

turkeyfeathers 35523 Posted November 15, 2018 Fisher confirmed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mesilla 0 Posted November 17, 2018 Oh yeah...fisher. Look at how long those hind legs are...marten's legs are stubbier and more equally sized...like a squirrel. And mink are even stubbier than that...so mink and marten move more even with the ground without that humped up back...thing almost looks like an anteater!

JimboCNY 16 Posted November 26, 2018 i saw a couple of these this year and did some googling. definitely a fisher and apparently there are no martens in NY either unless trail pics can prove otherwise Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
