Fisher trappers: is this common? #6402382 12/18/18 07:09 PM 12/18/18 07:09 PM

The reason I ask is last weekend I caught two male fisher 100 yards apart from each other. I usually catch one or two in this spot every year but I've never caught two at once. I followed the tracks right to the traps and they came down a hill side by side. I've never thought about fisher traveling in pairs. They both weighed 14 pounds and some change. Could these be brothers that haven't split up? Last edited by PmbnaTrpr; 12/18/18 07:20 PM.

So who was holding the camera ? One possible thing; one could have sprayed when caught and the other caught wind 5 miles away and came in. They do like to travel in warm weather.

It will be a memory the both of you will remember for a long time..do it now especially with the lower than average for fisher prices at the time. Someone should pull mbcooners coon collar up and show it here.
