Bill, why are you mating with Fisher cats?

 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

They were imported to Maine to help control the porcupine population many years ago. Porcupines strip bark off of trees which loggers dont like so much. They will flip a porcupine on its back a gut it from arse to its head with there razor sharp claws.

thats why they call it fishing not catching

Not true..their numbers were rebounding long before the ban which included conibears.. which is the main reason for the populatin explosion of beaver....... The most effective method for catching fisher is with a baited cubby or pole set gaurded with a #220 conibear.. this state has only allowed cage traps on dry land since the mid 70's.. fisher, like beavers were trapped to near extinction in colonial times.. Fisher have a very strange reproductive cycle,females usualy breed every 2 years, and only have 2-3 kits... they were re-introduced by the state ( of Mass) with animals live trapped from Vermont and upstate new york... like the coyote, they have adapted to urban life, which has made thier numbers explode.. Man is now their real only enemy...I've trapped hundreds of them... both as an animal damage control officer and fur trapper before retiring in 1993...after a second bout with lymes disease. |
A good run is better than a bad stand!
