Taken on Sunday September 15, 2019 at Notes.Facts About Fishers In The Adirondacks
The fisher, also known as the fisher cat, is actually a medium-sized member of the weasel family, and not a feline. Native to North America, fishers are commonly found in the Adirondacks.
Male and female fishers differ in length and weight. The male fisher averages a length of 35-47 inches, and the female averages 30-37 inches. The male also weighs more at an average of 7-13 pounds, with the female half that at 3-7 pounds. The most recognizable features include its broad head, narrow muzzle, and long, bushy tail.
The dark, long-haired fisher varies in color from dark brown to black, but adult males have a less uniform coloring; they take on a more grizzled appearance with multicolored hairs around the shoulders, neck, and upper back. The short, furry creatures look friendly, but fishers are predators, and they have sharp, retractable claws.

Williamsville archer lands record elk – The Buffalo News
This is the 18th year Pennsylvania has had an elk season, but the first with a specific archery season (Sept. 14-28). Previously, the general season lasted six days and any weapon could be used.
I have been hunting in Pennsylvania since 1983, and this year I bought a big game license online in July and filled out an application for the new archery elk season lottery drawing for $11.90. Then I kind of forgot about it.
On Aug. 17, I was traveling to Florida for a family reunion. After flying into Atlanta, I turned my phone on to find a bunch of messages from an 814 area code. After listening to the messages, though, I realized it was the elk lottery drawing day in Benezette during the annual Elk Extravaganza, and I had been selected for one of the coveted bull elk tags, one of only five available for the new archery season in Zone 10. Let’s just say I was slightly distracted at the family reunion and I couldn’t wait to get back home and start making plans.
I only had four weeks to plan the hunting opportunity of a lifetime. My first task was selecting an outfitter. My good friend Kevin Tone and I drove to Pennsylvania to interview two potential outfitters. It turned out to be an easy decision. Trophy Rack Lodge with owner/guide Larry Guenot was our choice.
