Looks that way to me! Thanks for posting. Never seen that many fisher pelts to compare them.

Wow, the People's Republic of Mass actually allowed you to catch that many fishers...?? No quotas? You have to use live traps correct, pretty much no other trap that would take a fisher is legal? P.S. I have high regards for you guys that live in the lower New England states and still do trapping under their restrictive rules. My mom was born in Milford, Mass back in 1925 and who knows, I might still be there if my dad and her hadn't return to his home state of South Dakota for his career and be closer to is large rural extended family. Maybe I'd be catching fishers too

EB they are very pretty skins! A few years ago I did try to run in the darkness but the Police attention to me made it simply not worth it. You just have to learn how to stealthy move about and if there is activity at a location pass it by till the next check. Thanks, You and Boco have some very nicely put up fur. I might start brushing mine out before I take any pictures & maybe even tack out the tails.

I sort of grade my fur and try to send the better ones to the auction.The ones off colour or with some damage I send to the tannery for making stuff or selling to people who make stuff. Most all damages,even ones that look bad are fairly easy to repair after tanning,with a lot of useful sq inches of fur good to use after repair.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
