A few years ago I watched a fisher run two big NE coyotes off a deer carcass in Rensselaer County NY. Helluva racket and worse smell (the carcass was frozen). He got past one of the doggies and inside the deer and they couldn't get him out, and just gave up after a half hour or so of growls and hisses and snapping jaws and teeth. This from a critter not that much larger than a jumbo barn cat!
