Hello, I'm thinking of hunting some schedule C rabbits (eastern cottontail or european rabbit) and I looked them up and the snowshoe hare and they can all be brownish gray at least sometimes. Now I know the hare is larger and tends to have shorter ears, but is a there a general rule of thumb to tell them apart from afar, while out in the bush?
