FWIW:

Hunting snowshoe rabbits with a 22 rifle (for those of us lucky
enough to live in the Rocky Mountains) is a blast.

Could it be anything else other than a blast given said tool?

You can chase these
guys all winter long. You have to wear snowshoes yourself, as they all
seem to live at high altitude, in or near spruce forests.


That might have something to do with the Human population or lack of it
at altitude.

It's best to chase them after a light snow...when all the tracks you
see can be assumed to be fresh. They're like great big cottontails:
pretty tasty little critters.

I believe that to be a universal truth for hunting in the highlands
(differnt months down this end of the world of course)
