Not sure a what experience you have but it doesn't sound like much...

Do you have ANY clue as to what a fisher cat is? I have actually seen one from 10 ft away. I am sure you can hit all the paper targets you want. A fishercat is a weasel. And fast. Your cance of hitting a fishercat thats attacking a pet is similar to hitting a squirrel at a full speed evasive run. Though a fishercat is larger than a squirrel it has the speed and agility. And if its attacking your pet you are far more likely to hit your pet if you hit anything at all.

I've seen them from my tree stands (deer hunting) numerous times over the years since the 1970's. I also have many images on my trail cameras...
You are correct that try are nimble (they Have to catch squirrels, mostly red, to survive.)
I wouldn't ever hit my pet under any circumstance but it's unlikely I would have the opportunity as she is 75 lbs of pure muscle and adrenaline.
My issue is how you can say I wouldn't be able to do something that I am proficient at, not knowing me in the least...you are off base sir!

I think you should hand Mr. Fisher a bouquet of flowers, and ask him very nicely to not attack and eat your dogs. This approach always works wonders in many other areas of society, so why not with a mean, naughty animal? On second thought...screw being nice to that "thug"...get a 45 and blow his head off!

They do look good stuffed.

I wonder what they taste like?

I see Fishers frequently when hunting. Dont think the .22 would be my weapon of choice to dispatch one.

Well for a walk in the woods it's hard to beat a .22 but my hunting carry pistol is a KelTec .22 magnum semi auto with the 30 round magazine!
That's firepower! Very light weight too...

Thanks for the input.
For clarification of the event, it as unfazed completely when I ran out screaming and swinging a large broom. It just continued growling at my dog.
Things like pepper spray and .22 s crossed my mind,
But I was starkly aware that I might hit my dog. Things happen way faster in real life with wild animals.
In my personal experience so far, it's easier to intimidate a grizzly bear.
Trying to contact fish and game...?

Absolutely correct as to the real thing. And then there is the made up stuff:

It doesn't help that Manchester has a minor league baseball team named "Fisher Cats".

There's no resemblance of fisher to cat, right?

That is correct and as I write the stadium is next door to me. Come park in my parking lot, for a fee of course.

Careful, this guy charges a fortune for parking.

Just kidding of course...

They get a bad rap as "Cat killers" 1 tenth of 1% historically have had Cat in there tummies when tested. No way they could catch a cat on the ground regularly, I've seen them bound by on the ground but as fast as squirrel in a tree......I see more Turkeys than I do Robins now.
