The vicious creatures are protected in NJ.

I don't recall any in central PA where I grew up; but vaguely recalled them being in the PA Hunting and Trapping Guide (small booklet that came with a hunting license).

From PA Game Commision website:

From New Jersey Hunting and Trapping Digest:
Fisher

Fishers are returning, naturally and through re-introduction efforts in New York and Pennsylvania, to most of their historic range in the northeastern United States. Fishers have been documented in several northern New Jersey counties and as far south as Cape May County.

The Fish and Game Council defines fisher as a furbearer to clarify its status; however there is no open trapping season at this time; possession is not permitted. If you find a live fisher on your trapline, do not disturb the animal or the set but immediately notify Fish and Wildlife by calling 1-877-WARNDEP (927-6337). A Fish and Wildlife technician will provide further instructions. For a dead fisher on your trapline, call 1-877-WARNDEP;
a Fish and Wildlife technician will make arrangements to pick up the animal. Biological samples will be taken from all fisher carcasses then analyzed for age and reproductive status. The data collected will be instrumental to determine when an open season may be established in the future.
