Snowshoe Hare Hunting

[Morel]

I was looking at trying for snowshoe hares in a couple of weeks (region 2). Does anyone have any suggestions or tips? I was planning on hiking some logging roads in the early morning with the .22. Other than looking for areas with lots of brush that they can use for cover and tracks (if there is snow) are there other things I should be looking for in terms of habitat (winter food, types of plants, types of terrain etc.)?

I have a plan on where I am heading. Part of the reason for the trip is scouting a new area for deer hunting next fall but I am hoping to see some hares as well. This will be a totally new area so I am not really sure what to expect.

Morel, how did the Hare hunting go? I am interested in hunting snowshoe hare's in region 2 but have no idea where to go?!

As far as scouting for deer and going for a walk in the woods with a gun, the trip was a total success. I have not yet seen a hare in the bush or even tracks. Sorry!
