The bunnies get a pass these days. Back in the day, I had a pack of Beagles, and used to terrorize the population.  Now, I like to watch them...next step...feeding pidgeons... ;D |

I haven't seen a bunny in the woods in many years. They have gotten very scarce here.

Bob It would take a really big raptor to take out an adult snow shoe rabbit.  but probably not the young. Ghost |

I used to hunt them all the time in Maine but have never seen one in NY.
This is the only rabbit worth eating that I have ever shot.

I dont hunt snow shoes. I find the leather is tough to cut, the rubber is to chewy and no matter how much the laces look like spagetti, they keep geting hung in my throat. Seriously though, we only have cottontail in Tenn.  |
