Didn’t know of any fisher around. Set a few locations I thought might have cats. Caught this big male about 3/4 of a mile from my house. Pretty neat to see him in the cage!

Very cool animals. I found a porcupine quill in the chin of a big male I caught this season.

As far southeast as you can get and not far from Iowa. Not sure if there’s many here be interesting to see the catch.

Wow, never knew there were fishers that far south. Must be as far south as they get in the Midwest. Very cool!!

P.S. blackhammer- you look a lot younger than I thought you probably were. Maybe you just age well...

He looked pretty cool from a distance as I walked in especially since it was unexpected. Wasn’t as vicious or aggressive as I expected. Have caught a couple in northern Minnesota in 220 boxes but catching one in a cage was way cooler.

The rifle has no will of its own it may be used for evil but there are more good men than evil men and evil will be corrected by good men with rifles.
