Talked to my Dad on the phone today about the articles written about the odds of fisher in Virginia. He lives in the foothills of the allegheny Mountains between east of Elkins WV and west of Staunton. George Washington national Forrest.

Is he in Bath or Highland county? I haven’t heard of anyone trapping or even seeing one. Doesn’t mean there aren’t a few around though.

Lots of fisher in Randolph county WV, which is where Elkins is, and south of there.
I trap them here in Tucker county 20 miles from Elkins.
They have huge home ranges, so I’m sure they are in Virginia near the border of WV
I trap specifically for them. Takes about a week.
Limit is one here

I live in the same area. I have seen fisher tracks in eastern Highland county, VA. With a name of Obaugh, I would guess the McDowell area.
