I have never heard tell of it in this area, and yes we do have fishers. They tend to stay away from populated areas as well. However we do have foxes and coyotes coming into towns and killing cats and in some cases dogs.. I have seen a fisher in close to a town but, more on the outside edges. I have never heard tell of a fisher killing any dogs...
Not in this state except under certain provisions!
Do yourself a favor and check the laws man, here you need to contact a warden and he will instruct you as who is licensed by the state to take care of them...This is a law to insure the right animal is taken care of. Also this law helps to cut down on poachers trying to kill other wildlife..
Fishers do kill a lot of cats and sometimes dogs. It happens quite frequently here in Maine.
In most states you can kill nuisance animals.

have also been told on good authority you can get a permit or something from the town to shoot up to 5 nuisance deer if they are raising hellwith your crops.
Soall the neighbor gottogether giving land use permissionto a local long time trapper, and he ended uptrapping a few of them.

Most of that info came from the town officials and trust me Im definately not saying they know what they are talking about lol. Butone would think they should know.No Im not in southern Maine, but yes a lot of land is posted here. And the trapper Im not sure if he was licensed by the state to trap nuisance animals, but he had a trapping license and it was trapping season when this went on so someone asked him tocome on over and have at it. I have noticed a lot of foxes around though now that you mention it so who knows. But its kinda weird that it stopped after he gota couple of the fishers and that was all he targeted so he didnt catch any foxes.
