WV Outdoors: The elusive fisher Clint Ferguson, WV Outdoors hampshirereview.com | 0 comments

This week I decided to write about an elusive critter that roams our mountains but is seldom seen: the fisher. I’ve never laid eyes on one myself, but a few years ago I captured a blurry picture on my trail camera that sure did resemble a fisher. I did a little more research and found that they are neat and unique animals.

Fishers are in the weasel family and are closely related to the American marten, but are a little larger in size. Their main range is found in most of Canada and in the New England states of North America. Recent studies have shown fishers have moved as far south as the northern parts of Massachusetts and New York.
