I thought maybe wolverine (in a sorta snowball in hell sort of chance) but it could have been a fisher. Nice clear track and way too big, with respect to foot size and distance between front and rear tracks, to be a pine marten. More fishers- cool!mdmnmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00191436711956580423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321070.post-21227833870224379462008-06-10T17:36:00.000-06:002008-06-10T17:36:00.000-06:00Interesting!

I saw my first when we were living in Durham (was probably the grandpappy of the one pictured in the Times) 7 or 8 years ago. Since then I've seen another (up a tree hissing at the shorthairs) and trapped 2 in my back yard - I'm one town over from Durham now. I have yet to see a single one in the area dead on the roadside. I like M.'s chances having seen a fisher cat even if the incident was light on the requisite pro w/ grad students...dr. hypercubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18248184324020645672noreply@blogger.com
