When is the hare hunting season in Quebec and Ontario?<\/h2>\r\nIn Quebec and Ontario, hare hunting is open throughout fall and winter, regardless of your specific destination (outfitter, wildlife reserve, etc.). As always, dates vary from one zone to another. Most zones are open to snowshoe hare hunting from September to March. Check out the Quebec or Ontario government websites to find the exact dates for your chosen zone.\r\nIf you think it's time to try snowshoe hare hunting in 2023, start by getting your small game hunting licence. If you want to use snares, be sure to respect the designated zones and dates.\r\nAn important note: the use of a crossbow for snowshoe hare hunting is prohibited in some areas. If this is your weapon of choice, be sure to check the regulations before you leave. In Quebec, the restrictions apply to zones 17, 22, 23 and 24.\r\nFor many hunters, the best time to hunt snowshoe hare is from mid-November to mid-December. There are several reasons for this: trees are a little more bare, plants droop to the ground due to frost\u2026 and hares are easier to spot before the first snow. Their white colour stands out against the brown and green surroundings.\r\nThere is no quota for hare hunting in most Quebec zones, while Ontario has a daily limit of five hares and a possession limit of 15. Worth noting: in the Greater Montr\u00e9al area (zone 8), there is a limit of 5 hares per day."},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","content_anchor":true,"anchor_link_text":"Hare hunting: a matter of environment","text_content":"

Hare hunting: a matter of environment<\/h2>\r\nSnowshoe hares can be found in nearly all areas of Quebec and Ontario. You can hunt them on public land, in ZECs (\"zones d'exploitation contr\u00f4l\u00e9es\" - controlled harvesting zones), wildlife reserves, provincial parks\u2026 Hunting on private grounds is also possible, provided you have the necessary authorization.\r\nAs with all species, if you want to hunt this prolific herbivore, you must have a good understanding of its behaviour and preferred environment. Snowshoe hare feeds on buds, herbaceous plants, roots and bark. If you can find signs of browsing, so much the better. If you see a branch with a clean 45\u00b0 cut, it means a hare has been in the area.\r\nHabitat-wise, you'll want to aim for young coniferous forests and small \"messy\" woods\u2026 Snowshoe hares thrive where they find good cover and food. Look for young shoots, areas of regrowth, bogs, shrubs\u2026 If you spot dead tree trunks or raspberry bushes, great: there's a good chance you'll find what you're looking for. Locating an area with a mix of ground vegetation, grass, and scrub is ideal if you want to bring back something to cook at the end of the day.\r\nOnce in the woods, you will have to spot tracks left by your prey. Several \"clues\" can reveal its presence: droppings (round, brown feces), signs of sleeping or browsing, etc. In winter, keep your eyes peeled for snowshoe hare tracks in the snow. If you study their track patterns carefully, you will likely end up finding them!\r\nIf you finally spot a hare, keep in mind that it can react in two ways. Some will freeze, and others will scurry away at supersonic speed. You should also be aware that hares tend to run in wide circles and then eventually return to their starting point. That\u2019s always good to know!"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","content_anchor":true,"anchor_link_text":"Hare hunting techniques","text_content":"

Hare hunting techniques<\/h2>\r\nHunting hares means trusting your alertness and attention capacity. This type of small game hunting requires a keen sense of observation. Snowshoe hares are clever animals: if you pass by one without seeing it, chances are it will simply stay hidden. On top of that, you also need to be ready to shoot very quickly. When a hare scurries away, it leaves you very little time to react.\r\nThere are two main hare hunting techniques: still hunting and drive hunting.\r\n

Hare hunting: the still-hunting technique<\/h3>\r\nThe still-hunting technique consists of locating and searching an area for signs of animal presence (feces, tracks, browsing, etc.). Hunters study their surroundings and walk through the woods at a slow pace, with their vision focused a few metres ahead. The goal: staying on the lookout at all times.\r\nYou can also follow the track networks left in the snow (following the tracks in the right direction), check out potential hiding places (piles of branches, dead trees, small fir trees\u2026), go deeper into the woods to find brush\u2026\r\nIf you spot vegetation cover that might appeal to a hare, use your feet to \"shake\" bushes, move dead wood, and so on. Maybe a hare will pop out!\r\n

Hare hunting: the drive hunting technique<\/h3>\r\nDrive hunting is a very good option for this small herbivore. It involves (ideally) at least four people.\r\nBut how do you hunt hare, either with or without a dog? It's pretty simple: hunters stand side by side as if on an imaginary line, keeping a fixed distance between them. This distance can range from a few metres to a good twenty metres.\r\nOnce the line is formed, the hunters move forward together at the same pace. The idea is to cause any hares on this trajectory to move. There's no need to be quiet here: the goal is to get the hares to scurry away so you can fire a shot. The drive hunt (or battue) can cover a large area.\r\nDrive hunting also means paying close attention to your own safety and the safety of others. All participants must keep an eye on the people around them at all times. Every shot must be fired safely. Wearing an orange bib and hat or tuque is essential.\r\n

Hare hunting: with or without a dog?<\/h3>\r\nSome hunters hunt snowshoe hares with dogs, more specifically with hounds. These dogs need to be well trained so they keep tracking only hares and not other species. As they track the game, they direct the hunter in the right direction. Hounds are more widely used for hunting furry game: foxes, coyotes, etc.\r\nBeagles are often chosen for this role because of their excellent sense of smell."},{"acf_fc_layout":"faq_zone","content_anchor":true,"anchor_link_text":"The best equipment for hare hunting","faq_title":"The best equipment for hare hunting","faq_text_content":"Small game hunting requires specific equipment. The good news is, whether you're talking about firearms, clothing or accessories, the list is actually not that long. That's one of the reasons why hare hunting is such a great introduction to hunting in general!","post_faq":[{"post_faq_question":"Which calibre for hare hunting?","post_faq_response":"Small game hunting can be done with a wide variety of weapons. So, whether you're a firearm hunter or an archer, you can stalk snowshoe hares.\r\nMost hunters use a .20- to .410-gauge shotgun. Others prefer to go with a .22-calibre rifle.\r\nAs for ammunition, choose number 6 or 7.5 size pellets. Hare hunting regulations require the use of shotgun shells with a diameter of 5.6 mm or smaller.\r\nIf you're an archer, you can use any type of bow or crossbow. Airguns are also permitted for this small game hunt. However, the chosen model must offer a velocity of over 500 feet\/second and a calibre of .177 or bigger.\r\nIf you're just starting out, focus on safety. Stick to a single-shot rifle to \"get the hang of it.\" There will be plenty of time later to upgrade to a double-barrelled rifle (side-by-side or over-and-under).","post_faq_is_response_open":true},{"post_faq_question":"The right clothing for hare hunting","post_faq_response":"When you go snowshoe hare hunting, you must expect to cover a few kilometres - it is a moving type of hunt. Of course, it all depends on your physical condition, but most hunters cover good distances in search of this small game; plus, you sometimes have to go deep into the woods, bend down, move lots of branches, etc.\r\nWearing the right hunting clothing is essential, no matter what game you're after. Early in the season, go for breathable clothing that wicks away sweat. Instead of wearing a thick, heavy jacket, give the multi-layer technique a try and avoid covering up too much.\r\nAs the season progresses and winter sets in, opt for a hunting jacket with plenty of room for movement.\r\nCamouflage is not really necessary for hare hunting. Remember: as with ruffed grouse, you must get your prey to come out to make a shot. Wearing the regulation orange bib is mandatory, however.","post_faq_is_response_open":true},{"post_faq_question":"Which boots for hare hunting?","post_faq_response":"The most important thing when choosing boots for this small game hunt is to focus on comfort. Bear in mind that hare hunting involves a lot of walking.\r\nAt the start of the season, neoprene or rubber boots are great options as the weather's not too cold yet.\r\nLater in the season, when snow arrives, you\u2019ll want to make sure your boots are warm. Ideally, they should also be waterproof so your feet stay dry. Hare hunting sometimes involves going off trail and deep into the snow, so be sure to choose a pair that also has a good grip. Wearing snowshoes can be a great option in winter as well.","post_faq_is_response_open":true}]},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","content_anchor":false,"anchor_link_text":"","text_content":"So, you learned a few things about hare hunting.
