I moved to Maryland(Deep Creek lake area) 3 years ago and was having some work done on my house. The contractor ask if I had ever seen a Fisher while trout fishing in some remote areas I go to. I said no and had to go look on the internet and see what they looked like. I live in the woods just off the main highway and see game almost everyday(Mainly deer-small game and the occasional Bear) I was looking out the door one day and noticed a strange creature in the back yard coming about 20 yards by the house. It was a fisher-the first one that I had ever seen. I don't know how aggressive they are towards humans but I really don't want to see one in the wild and find out. The contractor told me that at night they sound like babies crying and sitting out on my deck one night I heard that sound. I figure I might have a family of them close to the house but have only seen the fisher one time in the last 3 years.
