A Beagle and a Bunny

By Glen Wunderlich

Rabbit and hare hunting have never been easy for me over the past 40 years.  I’ve tried shotguns from the diminutive .410 gauge to the more-than-adequate 12-gauge scatterguns. Additionally, rimfires have been employed at times for an added challenge not entirely necessary in the name of fairness. It’s not that I’m that bad of a shot, either, although I’m far from an expert with a smoothbore.

Without a good dog, several factors contribute to the degree of difficulty:  Tiresome trudging through deep snow and the element of surprise. Deep snow speaks for itself, when foot travel is cumbersome at best and impossible other times without snowshoes. Hard work and snowshoes go hand-in-hand, although they can be the only means to get into bunny country at times. Read more
