Snowshoe Hare (rabbits)
Posted: Thu Sep 03, 2020 11:36 am
I have been coming to Beaver Island for almost 27 years now to run my beagles on snowshoe hare. I have tried very hard to get along with everybody. I come mostly in July, August, September, December, January, February, and March. I try to leave October and November for the deer hunters. I very seldom shoot rabbits anymore. I just like to hear my hounds run. It is music to my ears. I realize it is not music to everybody's ears. I also realize most deer hunters don't want the disturbance. I nearly always start out on State Land, or Township Land, but I cannot control where the rabbit runs. This year is going to be a little different. I am finally retired, so I will also be here most of October and November.
If I am running my beagles, and the noise bothers you, or I am encroaching on your favorite deer hunting spot, please nicely ask me to run somewhere else. This is a big island, and I have a lot of places I can go. I am currently driving a blue Pontiac Vibe. I hope to get a beat up black and silver Dodge Durango up here sometime this fall.
