a friend said that fishers was introduced by the trappers request. they pay their own trap license fee as archery hunters pay their members only fee. not sure how true this is,but seems logical and we have no right to complain then if they are paying for it. but the draw back is the game animals we hunt are now prey for another predator. so maybe they shouldn't been introduced and are actually costing us huntersour game animals.
for us to have deer with numbers way down, PREDATORS are making a difference.
not only deer but rabbits, grouse,turkeys too.
the biggest predator of fawns i see and feel now is COYOTE.
penn state says BEARS too
