How do you trap of a fisher.The wild animal?

Answer 1

The fisher is a North American marten, a medium-sized mustelid. The fisher is agile in trees and has a slender body that allows it to pursue prey into hollow trees or burrows in the ground. Despite its name, this animal seldom eats fish; the name may originate from the French word fichet, which referred to the pelt of a European polecat. In some regions the fisher is known as a pekan, derived from its name in the Abenaki language. In parts of New England it is often called a fisher cat. it was sugested to me: use a 5 gallon bucket and a conibear trap, #160 or 220. notch the bucket so the trap sits across the mouth of the bucket. attach the bucket to a log or board between two trees about 4 feet off the ground. place some meat, rabbit is a favorite, in the bottom of the bucket - set the trap and place it in the mouth of the bucket. check the trap daily from a distance so as to keep your scent out of the area. once the bucket is ready (notched) wash it with a none scented soap and use rubber gloves from then on. scents can be purchased at most sporting goods stores, and are sometimes a good idea. i hope it works for you, good luck! it was sugested to me: use a 5 gallon bucket and a conibear trap, #160 or 220. notch the bucket so the trap sits across the mouth of the bucket. attach the bucket to a log or board between two trees about 4 feet off the ground. place some meat, rabbit is a favorite, in the bottom of the bucket - set the trap and place it in the mouth of the bucket. check the trap daily from a distance so as to keep your scent out of the area. once the bucket is ready (notched) wash it with a none scented soap and use rubber gloves from then on. scents can be purchased at most sporting goods stores, and are sometimes a good idea. i hope it works for you, good luck! rub liver from any animal around the trap and set this mechanism (bucket and trap) on a log that is from 10 degrees to 45 degrees tilted.
