“Done been handled, ‘ol son.” Cool picture.

I’m saying fisher.

Fischer. There is a lot of them where I live and otters have smaller, lower profile ears. Baby otters will be in the water with their mother or in the their den.

Definitely has the head of a Fisher!

Not an Otter. Looks like a Fisher to me also. (Especially if he is bigger than a mink already).
Pretty cool though, I have trapped many Otter, Mink and Weasels.
Marten and Fisher were either illegal or not in the areas I trapped. They all are very cool critters with bigger than life attitudes .

Not sure…the pointy looking ears throw me off. Them ears look like Marten. Fisher and mink tend to have round ears.

Not sure why size would be that of a full grown mink. The Oxalis next to its head makes it look much smaller than an adult mink.

West Virginia panther?

Just kidding. I think it is a fisher.

That’s a tiny otter. Not the norm. I have a big male that’s around 5’ long.

Fisher. Had to google it and came up with this.

That is a pine marten

 

[MallardSX2]

That’s a baby mink or a baby pine Martin.

Don’t have fishers or martins down here in VA. But I can definitely say it’s not an otter. Here’s an up close face of an otter I trapped

This is an Otter we saw yesterday , it's not an otter , IMO .

Roosie,
It looks big for the marten I've seen here (very few). my bet is on a fisher

Great pic of a mink.
