You are wrong. I did it once years ago and it was very satisfying.... Actually is was very cool. Not something I want/can do down here but that one time/year I had the opportunity to do it, it was awesome.Quote:

up north, they're easy to get (areas north of sudbury).. I got quite a few just sitting under young balsam.. down here not so easy.. probably too few around
Really?? Of course it's hunting, just using a different method. I take it you don't think trapping is another form of hunting either.Quote:

Hares lay down a lot of tracks in one night, it is frustrating to see so many tracks and not produce a hare. They also don't make any noise when they flush, you could be moving them when your looking the wrong direction. Just keep at it. Take a buddy.
i put my snares in a new area and got 2 the first night! they're currently in the crock pot
