The plan today was to get Roxie on some snowshoes to see if she might run them better that cottontails. Unfortunately we did not find any snowshoes. We did run across some old snow-covered tracks, but nothing since last nights snowfall.
I was even employing the aid of Fritz in hopes he would be able to stir up some hares. Luckily we did bump one cottontail, and Roxie did a very good job of running it. She did start out silent, but after trailing it for a couple hundred yards she did open up. She did chase it quite well and after its third pass around me I was able to bag it.
There are snowshoes in this area, but the overall numbers look low based on the sign I saw.
