I use to trap those fisher critters...most interesting animal
Martens can catch a running squirrel as it races through the tree tops...a Fisher can catch a marten and will kill and eat them as well as everything else..

Even Canadian Lynx remains have been found in Fisher dens
and vice versa..

They can run down a tree head first and have amazing leaping and jumping ability.

They are basically an arboreal wolverine..

A trapper I used to know swears he saw one fight a badger that was trying to defend a big pile of deer corn...

The badger lost a leg in the fight and limped off...the fisher
got the corn..

Dont know if he also ate the badgers leg...but that would be typical of them.

That's a new one to me. I have never even heard of a fisher cat.

I'll have to google it, learn something about it.
