I’m going with fisher. I can see how it looks like otter, but think it’s stranger for an otter to be that distance from water in that location, then to be a fisher that looks strange.

Looks like a fisher to me.  What makes for otter ID?  Remember Sider--the governor "works" for the state -- and that's proof that just because you're a state official-- your not always right.😎

I don't know, but to me it could be a coyote sniffing the ground? Either way the upcoming turkey season is looking pretty good!
