Fishers are related to Martens...so yeah, good sized (say about the size of a small dog) weasel. The cat is most likely a Bobcat. Nice to see that the Porcupines are alive and well in the North country as well. Great pics.
The fisher is a largish martin ( AKA fishing martin: martes pennanti) completely unknown in the UK, they average around 5 kilos but can go up to around 8.....they are one species that will readily hunt porcupines & have in some areas been (re)introduced in some states to control the porc-u-pine populations......they will also attack cats & small dogs....for the brits, just imagine a dark brown ferret 5x bigger.
Put out a pile of fish guts for bait a couple days ago. Something ate the fish, and someone stole the camera. Followed the footprints to a road. Think I'll put out something attractive to thieves, aim a new camera at it, and a second camera watching the first. Any clever ideas?
link a wire cable to a sawn of 12g loaded with rock salt, that should sort out the ribbin gits........
Great pics Oblio13! Last two:
Gray fox and crotchety old new england surveyor! Any size info on the coyote. From the looks of it, it is a young one. Y'all get some big boys up there approaching 100+ lbs. Most taken, and then studied, from your region have "hybrid" gray wolf genetics. Great stuff! Would love a PM of any coyote pics you might have, if you don't mind.

That's the one and only coyote pic I've gotten so far, which surprises me because we have a lot of them.
Gorden, I may have mis-understood your post, if I have I'm sorry, but it looks to me as though you were stating that there are 100 lbs+ coyotes walking about, ........a slight exaggeration, don't you think ?..Fact & fantasy often merge where certain wild animals are concerned.
