Feeding hare
Does anybody feed hare in the wild that you just run and do not hunt ? I have put out salt and also rabbit pellets but the hare used the salt but did not touch the pellets but the mice and squirrels got fat on them I was thinking about hay in the winter just wondering if anybody had luck feeding wild hare.
Re: Feeding hare
They'll fed on pellets. We've fed them good alfalfa hay, then the squirrels don't get fat. Use a tube feeder for the pellets and put the hay undercover.
Beagling is not a science, just an opinion!

They love horsecorn, but once again you have to feed other critters too!
Tallpaul, what are you calling a tube feeder? Can you post a picture?
