Snowshoe Hare

FWIW:

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

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.

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

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

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

What ever. If they are furry, have four legs and live in holes in the
ground, they're rodents to me.

Lagomorph:
Any member of the mammalian order Lagomorpha, a terrestrial group that
includes the relatively well-known rabbits and hares and also the less
frequently encountered pikas...distinguished from rodents by having
two pairs of upper incisors specialized for gnawing.
