Bingo! I bet that's what it is... that or a mink. Seen both of those around central Mass in my old stomping grounds... Although I'm not sure a mink can climb a tree. I bet it's a fisher though... pretty cool |

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

tasty on a bed of steamed rice.
if you beat them vigorously (whack 'em with a baseball bat) while alive prior to cooking them, the released adrenaline will give you a huge stiffy to stuff your s.o.'s blini after your first bite of this delectable critter.

I have a friend who's an EP and I asked him how dangerous Fisher Cats are. He said "put it this way, if they weighed 200 pounds we'd all be dead".

Almost a cross between a cute and fuzzy ferret and a tazmanian devil.
Kind of like trying to pet a porcupine.

nasty creatures.. leave it alone.... hopefully it moves on.. must be something it's feeding on nearby.. any ponds/water around you?
Fishers love ponds/wet marshy areas.. got a few around my area.

It shouldn't bother you Larry. Besides that they eat porcupines. 
They will eat your housecat too. |
