Species Account:
Animal was very dark red (rust?) to brown in color. Guessing by its size it was a juvenile, had not reached the sizes I’ve seen listed for full grown fishers.
I was archery elk hunting and this little fella came along and probably got within 5’ of me before realizing I was there….that’s what I like to believe, in reality it probably knew I was there and it was investigating.
