Any thoughts on hunting stoats, possums (the Australian kind, not opossums) and rats?

In my reading-up I saw that the historic range of Fishers was as far south as North Carolina, and savvy friends with hunting terriers have seen them in Pennsylvania recently. I wish I'd seen it, but with luck it remains roming our area, as he didn't take it all that far away.

My bet is that it was a mink -- pretty rare, but far more likely than a Fisher which is also a mustelidae. Another option is a river otter, another mustelidae.<BR/><BR/>P.PBurnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781540805883519064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-62454778322115202282009-01-01T23:28:00.000-05:002009-01-01T23:28:00.000-05:00We have tons of fox, red and silver, on our place,...We have tons of fox, red and silver, on our place, with a youngster who runs through at late hours crying in the weirdest tone (I had to survey wild animal noises until I found it).<BR/><BR/>Patrick, have you ever seen a Fisher Cat in our area? I'm in Southern Maryland and I think my husband trapped one in a live trap this summer. I didn't see it, but he thought with the tarp still covering the trap that he had a skunk. He was carefully setting it loose when he realized it was not an animal he'd ever seen before. Again, we scoured the internet looking at photos, and he thinks it might have been a Fisher. In reading, it would be unusual but not completely out of the question. Ever seen or heard of one in these here parts in modern times?<BR/><BR/>SeahorseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
