There is another option Ed. You could put it in the freezer for a year or so and get it mounted when the funds are more plentiful. I did that with a Yote one year. I had 2 bucks at the taxi and was tapped out for cash. I was glad I waited it turned out to be one of my favorite trophies. Your Fisher is a tremendous trophy with a bow. I think you will appreciate that more as time passes. Plus Jake can tell his friends "dad has a fisher in the freezer". My kids got a lot of mileage out of a "Yote in the freezer".

You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

Re: 1st Fisher!
Well - I put the moves (sweet talked ) on the warden last night and she has allowed me to get the full body mount.
It's ALL your fault for convincing me
I showed her this post and she caved to the pier pressure.
I told her how bad of a wife everyone would think she was, blah-blah-blah, it was almost like she didn't care, but said yes anyways

Cool Ed, I have never seen one in the wild. Glad your were able to get the "Warden" to allow you to get a full body mount.

Re: 1st Fisher!
Very cool ed. I saw one in the UP a couple falls ago, and started wanting one. Pretty sure we have to trap them, and I don't know a thing about trapping so I will just frame the pic of yours.
Saw a mink in my front yard yesterday, Ellie was trying to get a pic of it, but it ran when it saw us gawking at it.

Re: 1st Fisher!
That is awesome Ed! I've had to help a buddy let 2 of them out of live traps, they're something, to say the least!
