Moderators dtel Posted May 18, 2021 Moderators Share Posted May 18, 2021 I thought a fisher was bird, then couldn't figure how it could do what you said,...........so I looked up Fisher, and was quite surprised, looks like a miniature bear. Is this what your talking about ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in the St Croix valley in MN, now if i could see a real bear! ive seen two cubs running up my hill, they are fast! Saw the back of a large one that knocked my garbage can over but the Roman candle i deployed wasnt bright enough to see in the dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the weirdest dog hes a standard poodle bread for hunting, fast as can be alerts and chases everything thing that moves. Breeder had Labs but found this breed was much easier to train for birding.....Sadly mines is not very bright, but loves my family and is kind as can be.... He tries to befriend every animal he sees, The Fisher might bite his parts off.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO1 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 cute little mammal ----it would not attack a dog -nor kill a Lynx , this is a Myth that led to the Fisher being almost extinct due to over hunting , the very good news is , the Fisher preys on rodents - Fishers among most misunderstood and maligned species https://www.gazettenet.com/The-facts-about-fishers-5039091 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juniper Posted May 18, 2021 Author Share Posted May 18, 2021 RandyHoo, there are documented cases of large male Fishers killing Lynxes. There was an extensive long study that was done in Maine, they like their throats! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
