What animal is this?

[Nobragtildrag]

Look at the eye spacing, the short ears and the broad shoulders and the stance, believe that is a wolverine. Didn't think so until @QuazyQuinton posted the pic. Saw my one and only on the Idaho/Utah border a few years ago, cool critters.

Thank you for your input it’s much appreciated.

Are you in a state that has fishers? I saw one in West Virginia several years ago and I see their tracks occasionally in the snow.

It’s a porcupine

Yeah porcupine or fisher would be my guess

 

[Mallardsx2]

I’m going with fisher.

Your camera sucks. Go buy a browning.

I was also gonna say fisher

Until the porcupine was shown on trail camera, I was gonna go with an extremely well fed pug. Now I’m leaning the quilled one.

I'm going to say it's not a fisher. They are extremely slender and I'm pretty positive it would be easy to tell if it's a fisher. I like the porky guess

I was thinking badger until I saw the porcupine pic.

I rescind my coon guess and have to agree with the porcupine

 

[rlurbey]

I think raccoon, just not a very good lighting in the pic.

It also looks like a possible manbearpig down on all 4’s.
I’d call Al Gore.

I’m with @Bullshot on this one. For some reason porkys look strange in trail camera pictures.

 

[fishing4sanity]

I'm voting porcupine as well...... or just cupine for short.

 

[Caseknife]

Damn, now I got to go with the Quilled Critter

 

[Howie]

Looks too stocky for a fisher. My votes porky
