Both my brothers texted me this morning that they saw something very strange while deer hunting. My teenage brother texted me first, he claims four fishers in a group came running through the brush in a very tight pack, like within a foot of each other. He didn’t see them for long but they were only at 20 yards and he knows animals pretty well. A few minutes later my older brother saw them also from a different stand a few hundred yards away. Again, under twenty yards but all swimming together in a small creek a foot deep and few feet wide. Only saw them for a few seconds and thought they were otter. Both said that they were all 6-10 lbs. Both species are very rare around here but fishers are more common of the two. This behavior seems weird to me for both species, would either species run in a pack like that and would fishers swim in the creek? What do y’all think they were?
