Fisher with summer coat

Long-tailed log walker.

still think its a squirrel monkey

You guys are too quick. Thought maybe the southern fellas would find it interesting.
Has anyone ever had one of these for a pet?

Sorry should have gone with black panther...

That’s a cool looking critter!!

I hear quite a few stories about black panthers spotted in the summer up here and I figure the tail throws most people off.

They look a lot neater when prime.
I'll see if I still have some pics.

Can't find them at the moment. A couple more of this summer guy.

I've seen them in the summer, But I have never seen a picture of one in the summer!.... Great pictures....

Thank PC... Better furred up that one. I saw one here that jumped out on the trail in front of me a couple years ago that was pure silver. Beautiful animal.

getting a good population here in PA believe it or not.took over from the bobcat as my favorite critter to toy with.i'm sure it'll change to otters soon as their numbers are booming now too.

I saw two together eating frogs the other day on my shoreline in front of my place. I have a very large otter mounted but the bigger of the two I saw dwarfed it. For all of them I've seen none came close to this ones size.
When you do trap them make sure it's in a 330. They are a buggar in a foothold if not a drowner set up.

Osky

have released a half dozen outta footholds and you aren't kiddin.

Cute lil fella.

I did for one.

Don't you mean a 220, not a 330?
I caught one by accident in a drowning set for coon. Turned it in to the local CO. I said I didn't think they ranged this far south. He said just a week prior, someone had called him about a dead one on the highway. They called him because they didn't know what it was and thought he might.

IMO a 330 size trap is a poor choice for otter unless it is fully submerged.
For fast moving otter’s a 330 size trap quite often closes on them to far back. My experience with the smaller 280 is that it closes faster and results in fewer, if any, poor catches. The 280 will also capture more of the incidental mink and muskrats that often trigger 330 beaver and otter sets without getting caught. Thus, it is the ultimate otter trap IMO.

I just released this one and it was a race to see if he was gonna chew through the stick before I got the trap off his foot. Pretty sure he was comin for me.

How does the first one walk with no head?

Excellent Pictures Osky!

Cool Pics Osky! Thanks for posting.
