The fisher is a menber of the weasel family,swift and agile and are exellent tree climbers.
With breeding season in april and a life span of about 7 years.
They are a valuable furbearer and fun to trap.
fisher can be caught in the 120 size killing trap but the 160 & 220 are perfered.
There is a wide range of sets used for harvesting fisher from the running pole set to the box cubby.
Most trappers perfer beaver meat,a fatty meat is the best,i found out a long time ago the raccoon is also very good.
You can't go wrong with castor lure at the set,and a strong skunk lure for the call lure.

Nice pictures white, thank you for sharing. The fisher is not a difficult animal to harvest being a mustelid.
We used to catch an average of 4 per year in our 120 sets for marten.
