fisher cat road kill
- Thread starter mac1911
- Start date
Some of the fisher cats I have seen would kick a Japanese cars ass. Must have been hit by an American made truck. I saw one running through my yard and my first thought was if Arnold Schwarzenegger was to own a cat that would be it.
You sure its dead? Might be a trap...
I'm well aware of that.
They make really good items to keep lots and lots of worms in one place, too!
it was dead! head squished right up. Co worker told me some one pulled up and scooped into a back of a truck. The pelt seem to be in good shape. I was going to go grab the tail. Thats when I noticed it was gone.
Watch out for Environmental Police....It's illegal to pick up any road-killed fur bearer without a valid trapper's license.

Ive seen 3 (roadkill) on Rt 3 Two on the northbound, 1 southbound, all in Marshfield !!! Theyre even gettin flattened here on the Cape.
In all my years hunting I've only seen two in the woods, never any road kill. You guys are seeing them all over the roads out east. WTF
I have heard about them when i started hunting,
not until I heard them screaming a few years ago in wooded area behind my house, then spotted one crossing the road a few years later. I did not think they where around....nice fur on them

Actually, they are a member of the weasel (Mustelidae) family. Since they're part of the suborder Caniformia, they're more closely related to dogs than cats. I believe, actually, that humans are more closely related to rodents than fisher cats are. (Someone who knows better feel free to correct me, though...)

My gramps found this one on the side of the road in w. mass:
Had it stuffed actually, mounted on a log. Came out pretty good. I've never seen a live one, but there's a lot of sign of them in my area now.

I have a fisher behind my house. I've only seen it once.
On a side note I have seen 8 dead beavers on the road in the last 3 weeks and I haven't even counted the turkeys, but maybe a dozen of them.
I have also seen 2 dead hawks. I wanted to pick one up, but I know they are protected and didn't know who to call for permission to take it and have it mounted.
