Does anyone know a good online source?

There used to be a place in Riverton Wyoming that
sold anything and everything with fur on it.
Can't remember the name. Maybe they're still there.

I don't get much time to hunt snowshoe rabbits anymore.
But I once did a lot of it........one of my favorite winter passtimes.
I'd hunt alone, on showshoes myself, with a 22 rifle.
It's best to go at dawn, right after fresh but light snow, and then
to head straight up to thick spruce forest at high altitude.

Any tracks you see will be fresh, if is snowed lightly last night.
You notice the tracks, scare them back into where ever they hide,
and then pretend to dissapear. Next thing you know, maybe
ten minutes later...........there they are, and ping. You have one.

Unlike jack rabbits snow shoe rabbits taste just
fine. Like great big cottontails. And you get lots of good dubbing.
And you get to spend all day long in steep, deep dark timber,
where nobody ever goes.

I see their tracks when I'm XC skiing, but I can't wait until winter,
and the smallest caliber rifle I have is a .30-06.
