Video - Fisher Behaviours At The Trail Cam (Ottawa - Mar. 8/9, 2019)

Hello All,

It's always cool to capture fisher footage on the trail cam. Here's some neat behaviour stuff, captured late last week.



Cheers,

very interesting...I assume the spine was left by you to attract animals?

Now that was cool. Thanks. I have ever seen them down here. Do we have them in Southern On. ?

Definitely in the area west of Barrie, saw them quite a number of times while at work. Some munching on porkys, saw one with a turkey.

anfield21 - I found the remains of this road-kill whitetail (pretty much like you see it) so dragged it about half a mile to the location of my cam. Plenty of fishers in the area, so knew they would show up to check it out.

Sharon - Fishers are pretty much nocturnal. In all the times I have spent in the woods over the years, I have only ever seen one with my naked eye during daylight hours. Plenty around - just never see them unless you put up a trail cam.

Cheers,
Justin

I saw two sets of fisher tracks roaming the sidewalks of north Kanata in the fresh snow last week. They were only a couple of hundred yards from the open bush that runs out to Arnprior, but still, seeing their tracks in suburbia was a bit weird.

Every neighborhood should have them to keep the cat population in check.

We've got a few of them in CBay, and have had a couple of daylight sightings.

I have a pair that live in the bush between my house and the road. Seen them often crossing the laneway. Lots of tracks all winter.
