Im from the western end of the U.P. but have talked with guys from the Houghton Lake area and there are some Hare in that area. Id say if you drive 2-2.5 hours north you should be in Hare country.

First i'd go to wally world and purchase a "gazeteer map book".
It will show State Land, swamps, etc.
Low, thick swampy areas are a good bet.

I've run hare an hour north of Fremont.
Near Big Star Lake.

Don't expect tons of action.
but 1 or 2 hare will run all day!

Hey Nate,
It's got to be cheaper than driving to get on some swampers.

Jamey, I think its gonna be a little farther than I used to drive to come run with you. Either way with my truck getting 10mpg its gonna be rough on the wallet :hammer: thanks buschbound and LPB for the advice. Might be able to find some closer than I thought!

For the past couple of years I have went to the UP but in the past have found hare near Atlanta.
