What is it?

Here is a picture that was on one of my cameras. This is in Central WI. The mineral block in the picture is about 9" tall for comparison.

 

Wolverine?

 

I'd say wolverine.

Fisher.

 

+1 Definitely a FISHER!

 

If the salt block is 9" then that is one BIG fisher.

 

I've never seen either first hand but from pics I've seen I'm guessing a male fisher. I don't think it's big enough for a Wolverine and the color seems too uniform for a wolverine also.

 

Looking at the WI DNR website I'm leaning towards a River Otter. There is a creek within about 1/4 mile. It says a Male fisher might reach up to 15lbs, where a female otter can bet 19lbs and a make can reach 25lbs.

That mineral block is 30lbs. 9"x9"x10".

 

I've seen fisher and the ones that I have seen were all much smaller than that.
Color is a question but with the night picture it makes it hard to get a true reading.

 

Otter definitely could be that animal.
They don't travel a long ways from a river but 1/4 mile is definitely within their range.

 

It's a fisher.

 

If it was a wolverine it would be a miracle in central Wisconsin.

 

I've seen otter, it's too frizzy and tail is too big to be an otter IMHO.

 

thats a fisher

 

Fisher. I also am in Central Wisconsin and get them on camera here and there. Not often really. I had a smaller one and one bigger then that.

Cool catch no doubt.

 

Fisher...had one come in on my Wisconsin hunt.

 

Fisher

 

It's definitely a fisher have some on my trail cams also .

 

Not saying it's not...but that's a darn big arsed fisher.

 

They must feed them real good. That is a huge fisher.
(if that's what it is)
