saw excellent but stuffed fisher in NYC Museum American of Natural History. have seen coyotes, bears, rattlers, mink, chaz, and even a bobcat while out fishing, but never a fisher. Was surprised that the fisher was only about 12-15 lbs, I though they were bigger. anyone ever see one?

I saw a fisher while fishing a brookie stream. It was pretty close and it looked straight at me, then scurried away and disappeared into the rhododendron.

if one of those little dog/fox/weasels was ever close and looked straight at me, I might have scurried into the rhododendendron :)

I saw one while bowhunting in West Virginia. Never saw one in PA or while fishing. They are extremely quick!

It was kind of a spooky looking animal. But, as you said in the first post, they just aren't very big, so nothing to be afraid of.
I felt very lucky to see one.

I've seen one each deer season for the past couple of years.

I've seen bears, turkeys, deer, hawks, many species of birds, small mammals, bob cats, troutbert, foxgap, and k-bob, but no fishers. I fish Schuylkill County streams fairly often and hope to see one there.

I've never seen a fisher, plenty of mink though. Last Nov I was camping up on Denton and I couldn't believe the coyotes. All night long. It sounded like a 5 hour slasher film.

Yup. My cabin is right on top of Denton Hill, and many many nights I've been woken up by the coyotes singing.
