Snowshoe hares

(1/2) > >>

gdk45:
Was hiking with the wife and our dog on the Ashokan rail trail yesterday.  Dog was very interested in a scent on the trail so we started looking into the woods and saw three large rabbits chasing which were much too large to be cottontails.  Looked like a hot doe and two bucks chasing.  Are there snowshoes around the reservoir?

jdbbowhunter:
Wouldn't be surprised. Hunted them year back in Liberty.

MUSKRAT:
There is another rabbit that we used to see sometimes ...
We always called them woods rabbits ...they are a brown rabbit about twice the size of a cottontail ..
But not a snowshoe hare ...

Years ago there were a reported few , European hares as well , I always heard of some on the east side of Hudson River ...around dutchess county area ..but never saw one ..

ole bleu:
I remember the European Hares Muskrat they were stocked years ago bye the federation instead of snow shoes we hunted them in trails end along with snow shoes

Overland:
The few snowshoe hares I have seen in the Catskills have all been above 3500' in elevation. It's certainly possible they are lower down as well.
