Fisher cats!

 I have a video of three Fisher cats that came out in the road but I can't get it to post?  Anybody else have Fisher cats where they live? Super weasels!

Pic came up needing a login, can't see it.
No fisher cats here on the prairie.

No fishers in Indiana. Maybe a century ago but none now. We have mink and ferrets but thats about it. Oh yeah we have otters again thanks to the DNR

Hope you can post the video.  I'd like to see it.

We had a few fishers where I lived in the interior of British Columbia, and I saw one on snow when driving the Trans Canada Highway along the Thompson River near Kamloops.

Fishers have such a distinctive gait that their tracks are instantly recognizable if you can see a series of them rather than just one paw print.  They sort of gallop with their body offset at an angle to the direction of travel.  That produces a series of individual track sets angled to one side, because the critter is loping partly sideways.

The Washington State Game department trapped fishers in Canada and released them here on the Olympic Peninsula, so we have some around here now.  A dozen years ago I was cruising for lion tracks with my son on the Peninsula, and spotted the distinctive fisher tracks.  I couldn’t believe my eyes, but we checked and found out about the game department release.  In a fun twist, I met a Native trapper who had live trapped many of the fishers released down here.  He lives out in the Chilcotin country west of Williams Lake, BC.

 They are kind of like a smaller version of the wolverine, hellacious predators. I'd be happy to email that video to you if you like sir.  My brother saw one on his farm once coming down the field with a house cat hanging from his mouth 😸

Have some here in the Oregon Coast Range, but not many.

There are fishers in the UP of Michigan.

Cool!  Pretty rare also.

 I have seen a handful out in the wild but that is the first time I ever saw more than one, pretty sure it was a mama with two young ones one of them was significantly larger than the other two.
