Yes, a different species.

They are typically hunted in March and April when they are gathered up mating on the tundra. If the female is shot first, the rest won't leave, and they get the bunch at once.

Hey yukonjeff. Enjoy your posts. Thanks. Far as I know (which may be erroneous), Arctic hares, Lepus arcticus, only occur in Canada. Alaska has only Alaskan Hares, Lepus othus. However, in the minds of some "experts", they are one-in-the-same. Other biologists keep them separated. I'm with you, I lump them all together and we called 'em arctic hares. Whatever their handle, impressively big bunnies and tasty, too.

Did they go to Kuzi to get those? Nice clean looking hide. Worth some money on taxidermy market.

Thanks Jack,I always enjoy your post. I didn't know there was a separate Canadian specie. I figured they must be the same. Here the locals refer to them simply as jack rabbits. The furs are used for children's parkee liners, they don't shed like a snowshoe does.
