Just got to work, and I saw a PIG of a 9pt bedded with a doe on the lawn. She got nervous when I stopped. He only watched her. She got up and ran, and he almost tripped himself trying to keep up!  They are still amorous guys, good luck out there! And again, thanks for all the kind words!

Crotch Horn, this is the 1st anyone has mentioned to me that fisher  might be fawn killers.Its very likely though, theyre a ferocious little beast. I see a lot of lone doe on the property I hunt but theres still enough of em. I was thinking all the bear and yotes were putting a dent in them but never really thought about fisher. I was told by a Maine guide that the state of Maine transplanted fisher to some areas to thin the yote population as they were known to go into their burrows in spring and kill and eat the pups. Interesting little fellas.I have had a few tanned and have a golden female at the taxidermist now.

Alright Jamie...good for you man!

Spent the day out and about....the saga continues, 60 hours in the woods............    I must have a black cloud over my head!!

Keep after them Ron. The one that wants to ride in you truck just hasn't decided to jump in yet.
Izzy, I was talking to a very skilled trapper about the fishers & he is the one that told me about it. Said he even saw it once. Just the fawns though. We have lots of bears & yotes as well & I always blamed them, but now I know the population is down for another reason.

[Izzy]

Just what we need up there, more competition. Like I was saying, I see a fair amount of deer there but its strange how seldom I see a young deer with a doe. I dont spend much time there in summer so I never see real small fawns. Ron, you must be doing something right, it keeps bringing you out there.

[ron w]

Fisher take fawns at every opportunity, don't think bears don't get there share and don't ever think a Bobcat won't take a fawn. Throw in our friend the coyote and it make things pretty tough for a young deer. No wonder I can't see one!

[Cyclic-Rivers]

I always wondered why they dont allow fishers to be hunted?

Ron, Maybe you should try hunting where they do on TV?    Seems they are crwling with big bucks everywhere they turn.

Keep at it, it makes success that much tastier.

Just got out of the woods. Had a good morning. Got in a little late this morning about 6:30am. On the way in I bump a deer. Don't know if it was a buck or doe. Got to the stand settled in and did some contact calls for does. About ten minute later I heard loud grunting at first I thought it was coming from down the hill. Then I turn to look up the ridge and there stood a ten point about 35 yrds away. He was wide, about 20" and just perfect. I'm sure he was 125 to 135" Nice brow tine 4 to 6". I wish I would have had the camera with me. Then he just walked off the way he came. Man nothing like being tag out and hunting does. I think the bucks know cause thats all I'm seeing.

[Cyclic-Rivers]

Gee Frederick some of us wish we had that problem    

Sounds like a good morning indeed  

[Stone Knife]

I'm heading out in the AM I have the day off and my friend wants a small doe or a button    Touched up the heads tonight

Good luck Jim..

Had a forkhorn under the stand this morning,could have jumped on his back,and a 8pt. that hung up at 40yds.Forky made a rub to my right and then the wind swirled and he got a wiff of me.Walked stiff legged back to the 8 and they walked off to the north.There's an active red fox den 30 yds up the hill and saw a female go in and out 3 times.Shot over a coyote the other morning   :mad: .This has been the season of "almosts."  

[Tdog]

Keep at it...

[Stone Knife]

I had a fork horn under me this morning, no does yet.
