Marten Fisher Cross ?? PIC'S

[IHUNT]

The first picture is a normal size marten normal colours. Second is the odd one i trapped. The tail looks just like a fishers and the feet and body are about the same size as a fisher. Third pic is them side by side and you can see the size difference. Maybe just a REALLY BIG marten with some funky colours going on? What do you guts think????

look's to me like two marten, the little guy is missing 3/4 of his tail. probably a young of the year. the bigger guy looks awesome, you'll get alot more money by posting a pic on taxi.net than for the fur...... not a fisher. i'ld keep him and get mounted like sage said.

Very wierd yet so cool ! Get it mounted.

Nice but I think its a large marten. The only thing that happens to a marten when it crosses a fisher is ,,,, the fisher gets lunch!!!!

Definitally a odd speciman but I agree with the others, I see nothing to indicate a Fisher cross here.

To me the tail looks classic Marten. I don't see any sign of the taper so typical of a Fisher tail. Or the darkening toward the end.





I had to google these pictures to show what I mean, non of my photos show the tail well enough.

Just a thought.

I don't think it would be possible for them to crossbreed.
A Fisher has delaid implantation, meaning that they breed in the spring right after giving birth but the female does not become pregnent untill the following winter.

Marten breed in July and August and become pregnent right away, giving birth in the spring.

A large marten. If you got lots of fisher, you don't have a lot of marten. They, as a rule are not lovers.

Thats a big marten i would get it mounted kind of an odd color. Theres also fur buyers out there that would pay top dollar for him!

[tommyguitar]

Could be Top lot thats for sure!

How much does it measure from the nose to the tip of the Tail? Looks like a nice one for sure!

Going to get it mounted chasing a squirl up a tree. Hopefully it will turn out good!
