Chicken in a Sock

I definitely have some reservations about this "scientific method".

What might they be Bob? It is probably the most benign method of study for a critter as elusive as a Fisher. We had one of their eastern relatives(Martes pennanti) we would see every winter near our cabin. The article is a tad misleading as there is no species named Pacific Fisher.
 
Well, for starters, these critters are not used to chewing through socks. It may damage their mouth (even leave 'em hanging by a tooth) and change their behavior, which is never a good thing. Also, it's often not enjoyable for people trying to enjoy the wilderness to come across a nice large tree with a smelly sock filled with rotting chicken, not to mention the stupid scale nailed to the tree.

PS: if anyone thinks those scientists will pull all that crap down when their "study" is over, think again. I always find those stupid plastic drift fences and stakes, and even the traps at the end in the woods years after the study ends.
