I’m in Peterborough,NH On July 23rd I heard the viscious hissing-huffing sound of a Fisher Cat in the woods beside my house. Then I saw a slim young Bobcat lope out of the woods along the edge of my lawn. He was exhausted and unable to really run. As the Bobcat entered the woods on the opposite side of the lawn I mimicked the Fisher sounds each time it called out. I’m rather good at it as I hear a lot of Fishers. I kept this up until the Fisher seemed to move away and back into the woods. I hope I stalled the Fisher long enough for the Bobcat to make a full escape.

Interesting site! Me and my wife saw a fisher up a tree at about 8:30 AM a week and half ago (middle of March). We’re in Maynard, MA (next to Concord and Sudbury). We were out in some woods at the edge of the Assabet National Wildlife Refuge. At first I could just see it’s head. It looked like a little brown bear, but then we saw his body. Very cool. We were walking a couple of dogs, who never noticed him. They walked further up the path, and I just hung out at the base of a large tree. He didn’t seem to notice me. After about 5-10 min he came down the tree, maybe twenty or thirty feet away, and scampered off in the other direction. I was just a “tiny” bit nervous as he came down, remembering stories of fishers and their agressiveness. Still, pretty cool…

I am to a great extent impressed with the article I have just read. I wish the author of fishercatscreech.com can continue to provide so much productive information and unforgettable experience to fishercatscreech.com readers. There is not much to tell except the following universal truth: Computers are the tools of whoever knows your password I will be back.

Saw a Fisher this morning at 7:35 she/he walked within 25ft. of me before it knew I was there. I was in the Lowell/Dracut state forest bow hunting. It was not very big must be part of this years litter. Scamperd part way up a tree and then right back down and walked off. This was the first fisher I have seen around here although I have seen many more in the western part of the state.

we saw a fisher cat driving home from the Deerfield Fair last night. It was crossing the road in Deerfield in a wooded area. my cats were fighting one night last year and the sounds were more then a cat fight and I always wondered if they somehow fought off a fisher together. I don’t know if it is possible because I have heard how intensely vicious fishers are. I have seen my cat viciously attack a dog that came to our door right after I had my baby. she was very protective during that time. She is very smart and follows simple directions too. she and her daughter are great hunters. every single mouse that has tried to get into our house has been caught. probably though it was something else they fought off.

We have a fisher cat living in our yard. It was preying on turkeys in our neighbor’s yard today. We are keeping our new baby kittens indoors!
