Pine Marten

tough to call without seeing the neck. In general Martins are a lighter brown than a Fisher but that doesn't show well in the pic.

I would say pine marten fishers are larger with their eyes being farther apart

I think pine marten. Ears seem to be somewhat pointed as opposed to rounded like a fishers.But i would not bet my life on it lol.

That be a marten.

That's a small fisher,tail is to dark for a marten and the fur appears to be silver gray.I`ve trap 15 to 20 a year

Trapper eh,is that where you got ur handle from...pinchedfinger...n im just crackin a joke, not bein sarcastic

Too hard to tell without a size reference, so my answer will simply be "squirrel exterminator".

Thats a tough one....



I'm going to say smaller fisher because it looks a bit heavier built than a marten and the tail looks thicker....Really hard to say though....

Tee hee!
I knew a trapper called Singed Fur. If I was a trapper I'd be called... Never mind.
Fisher for my eyes.

A field biologist friend of mine says no doubt about it; its a fisher.

I saw one with my own eyes in the same spot last winter, except it was bigger. Amazing the way it moved across the forest floor and over/under logs; it didn't walk, crawl or trot. It "flowed".
