Fisher tracks?

[TerryK]

I found these near SGL 333 in Centre county a few days ago. I think they are fisher tracks, what do you guys think?

I think so. Front tracks looks smaller than back track. Sure. Just not positive because I can't see more. You know, I have had great response from posting pics on the PGC's Facebook page. Usually get answers from their biologists. That is a great resource.

I think they look like porcupine.

I think they look like porcupine.

Wouldn't there be a tail drag then too?

No tail drag. All the prints had two paws in the same track.

Yes. The Fishers are back. Saw a news report on it. Can't remember where in PA. it was reported from.

Found it. "OUTDOORS: Fierce fishers storming back in Pennsylvania"

Not sure. If so, it's a very cool find! Is SGL 333 off of Route 144 in the Snow Show area? I know there were fishers released there a few years back.

SGL is the old prison and Penn State land along spring creek in Centre county adjacent to the airport. These tracks were on PSU land behind the Penn Stater conference center. This area is open to archery hunting, and I guess trapping. People see fishers here in Centre county.
