I can see that having a nice back-strap for sure.
Would love to be able to hunt them.
Outstanding, guys!
Nice thread to read on a winter night. Thanks for the reports and the photos gentlemen! :)
Jackrabbits were introduced into Ontario in the late 50's and ground zero for the initial release was near Brantford.
From there they have spread in all directions over the years but the coyotes prey on all kinds of rabbits relentlessly, as do the ever growing population of red-tailed hawks. At night we have a few types of large owls hunting them as well, so it's not easy for them to survive & thrive.
A good friend of mine once included me in his group of hunters who went out in fields forming a large U-shaped line while walking the fields. I believe it was in Kitchener area and It must have been around the year 1998 or 99. On that day we were 7 hunters and each one of us took one jackrabbit home, although not everyone had shot one himself.
I personally got a nice one a few years later just west of Collingwood, so they have managed to spread far and wide and I wouldn't be surprised to see them anywhere in Ontario! Sometimes I wish the MNRF would capture a few and introduce them to other parts of the province as they are good and worthy game to pursue.
We are seeing good numbers south of Woodstock.
.I usually only take one a year.
But some of the hounds will run them a bit if they bump one .lots if fun to see them go flat out across a field. They sure can cover ground
