Larry;
Would you please send over to Old Denny HIll Road those fisher cats you saw? We need them to control our porcupine explosion. Shot 16 of them in our field last year between April and October. They wreck havoc with the dogs (one was quilled 5 times) not to mention the apple trees. That is one animal that God put on this green earth….for what, I have yet to figure out.

Hello George. I was pleased to read your article about bobcats in Warner and to see Faith Minton’s wonderful photo. They certainly are back in Warner! This past spring, I drove down Howe Lane and turned right onto Newmarket Road. A few hundred feet on the right, in front of the sap house, I saw a strange animal moving on the side of the road. As I got closer, I realized that there were two bobcat kittens wrestling in the grass. I continued driving a short distance and then stopped and watched as they tumbled and played on the side of the road. I did not see an adult, though I’m sure that Mama was nearby. I then turned around and rushed back home to get Mimi and her camera. Unfortunately, when we returned they were gone. I told several people about my sighting, but nobody else knew of any recent bobcat activity. Besides our annual encounters with moose, coyotes, and bears here in the Mink Hills, we’ve also seen two fisher cats. They seem to be keeping the porcupine population under control! Thanks again for your article and your excellent venue. Best wishes. Larry Sullivan
