A general forum for the discussion of hunting with beagles, guns, clothing and other equipment and just talking dawgs! (Tall tales on hunting allowed, but remember, first liar doesn't stand a chance)

After patterning a shotgun for the first time I realized what a big difference shot size matters in accuracy. I think the answer has more to do with what your gun shoots best rather than what is needed to kill a hare....
Check people using 20ga #4's must be ignorant thanks for the feed back. Would'nt have expected anything less from you. LMAO.

I still plan on moving their in 12 years and maybe the hare population will be back as good as it was in October 2013.
Jamie, I too was unaware of a hare shortage. I have always been able to find hare to run. Most of the guys that come up and run with me over the month that I am there would rather just run hare and not kill them. However we do take a couple but we don't kill everything we run.
ON THE ISLAND LAST WEEKEND STILL SNOW IN THE CEDARS AND THE "SHOES" WERE STILL 80% WHITE. ICE IN THE BAY PERCH FISHERMAN COULDNT GET OUT MAYBE BY TODAY. GETTING SMELT LIKE THE GOOD OLD DAYS 30 GALLONS BY SOME GUYS IN AN HOUR, BETTER HURRY OR YOU WILL HEAR "SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE YESTERDAY" I FINALLY RELIZED WHY I DONT SEE THE "SHOES" YOU GUYS DO I DONT HAVE NEAR ENOUGH DOGS AND NO FIELD CHAMPS.

I have found that Hare shot early in the season taste pretty good. However if you get one later in the season after the snow has fallen, they have a strong cedar taste.
