Guess I was very lucky becuase a couple of years ago while I was out hunting I saw one chasing a squirrel around. It was fascinating to watch the two of them for several minutes playing what looked like hide and seek, until the squirrel made the mistake of heading up a tree and no kidding that fisher bolted right up the tree behind it and had the squirrel cornered. I figured that fisher had it's fun picking on the squirrel so I twiched my leg which of course blew my cover and that fisher took off like a bat out of hell. Poor squirrel didn't move for about 30 minutes....
Until I got home and looked it up I figured it was just a badger of some sort. Pretty cool to see nature in action.... but boy that thing was pretty mean little bugger, especially if you're a squirrel.
