We have some here but I wouldnt consider it to be good or high numbers of them.

That's interesting danny.
My dad told me stories of the big jackrabbit drives they would do when he was a kid.
Grandma would make sausage from the rabbits and pork fat from there hogs they'd butchered.
She came from an anabaptist community north of Salina ks. Ada ks.

We had them in SW Wisconsin in the 1970's, none since.

Thier was a lot along 287 last yr would some everyday driving to work, but the winter kill was awful and hardly seen any this summer when building a transmission land. Seen one Sunday night coming home from ice fishing just north of medicinebow Wy

They yard up around here in Winter, really odd to see hundreds together in one field.
We still have good numbers around Laramie and to our North.
We pick up roadkill or take a few and skin the faces out for trapping bait/lure in cubby sets. Tack them up and let them dry out, add googly eyes and great for catching bobcats in cubby sets.

Great idea wytex!

are the ones that turn white really snowshoe hare?

or do all north American hare turn white if cold enough / day short enough

I shot 2 snowshoe this year in Clark county white on brown leaves I thought the first one was a large puff ball and that it was weird to have those so late early January so I went to look closer then it moved as I got closer and I could see it was a snowshoe hare

A snowshoe hare is only about half the size of a white-tailed jack. We have a few snowshoe hare here too. I don't think their areas overlap much. The snowshoe lives in the trees and brush. The white-tailed jack rabbit lives in the prairie / grasslands. I am pretty sure the antelope and black-tailed jack do not turn white.

thanks
these were bigger than our cotton tail but not huge
definitely in the woods , went looking for grouse and came home with hare

Whitetail Jack = Two feet long, including the three-to four inch "stub" tail. Weight: 6 to 10 pounds. Color: In summer, the jackrabbit is brown gray, with a white belly, feet, and tail. In winter, the fur changes to white, with somewhat darker ears.
Snowshoe hares are somewhat larger than cottontail rabbits. They average around 18 to 20 inches (. 5 m) in total length and weigh 3 to 4 pounds (1.4–1.8 kg).

There were a lot more jack rabbits in western Kansas compared to North-central Wyoming.
