Fisher. Almost looks like an otter in the last picture, but too long of fur in the first one I think.

I thought fisher too. It just looked too big and round for that.

Looks like a furbearing alligator to me. Toss it in a crick and see if it can swim.

From a desert rats perspective, looks like fisher? However knowing nothing about them, my question is how big do they get? That animal looks pretty big!

I have watched fishers on camera and in the woods and I have never seen one walk with its tail dragging.

You guys were right.. I walked back to where that camera is on snowshoes and looked at the tracks. Definitely a big male fisher. Those game camera pictures sure can be deceiving.

My first thought was an otter. But looking at track gate in snow i'll say it's a fisher.
Havn't had much experience with wolverine so really don't know

my first idea was a black bear but its way too small after my second look I'm going with a wolverine
