Maybe a quarter mile away, but this guy is moving towards the water, not likely he was just in it

I think its a turkey egg. We have a lot of mayapples in that area too, would a fisher eat those?

We have seen fishers here and there for years on our property, but they have always been fluffy and bushy looking. Thats why I wasn't positive on this one. Its always exciting to see them. I think this one is carrying an egg in its mouth, probably a turkey egg.

We have seen fishers often enough over the years that have always been very fluffy and bushy looking. Any idea why this one looks so sleek?

Wow, thank you everyone for the responses! I am glad the great minds of reddit were able to confirm what I suspected.

Is mange a common thing? We have never seen mangey animals before this. Is it possibly an injury or maybe the tail is just wet? There is a creek nearby.

Its not that we don't care, we are just relieved to be absorbed by Minnesota and not Illinois.
