    Otter

    Possibly an Otter but most likely a Fisher. A marten has a bushier tail at the end, and this is much more like guard hairs laid back like an otter or Fisher. The ears on an otter usually are not as pronounced when they are walking. My vote, Fisher

    My guess is fisher due to size. Martins are smaller unless its just the camera angle?

    X2 A Fisher is a pretty good sized animal.

    X3 – looks like the same animal I watched from a tree stand while bow hunting for black bear a few years back.

    I believe it is a fisher. if you look at the ears between the two the fisher has more rounded ears like the animal in the picture.
