My guess would be a Fisher, color is right and the size is about right.


Agree, that’s the one I was trying to think of but couldn’t come up with the name. Saw a couple of them years ago near this area.
My best guess would be Fisher then Wolverine, just doesn’t seem to have the right shape/style/ look as a bear

My guess is Fisher.  If that’s the case, cool!

Honestly, I couldn't remember the name either and had to google Mustelids.  Remember the feel of the fisher skin in Mammology class from Central back in the early 80's, by far the softest of all the skins.

 :yeah:
That is what I keep going back to. Claws seem darker and deeper than fisher or wolverine I have seen and the wrist/paw a little broader and more flat.

Bear.


Hmmmm. That does look pretty close to the OP.

I still think it’s funny I got a pic of critters with cam in that position.

Well considering theres probably 1 wolverine in Washington to about every 2500 bear and maybe double that for Fishers, odds are......  yes, that is funny you still got pics.

Does the date of the shot suggest a bear cub?

Any water nearby? River otter?
