The Snowshoe Hare 
Some Interesting Observations on the Life 
Habits of the Varying Hare of New England 
By A E JAQUITH 
NOW-SHOE rabbits 
S are not a novelty to 
a few of the readers, 
but because the greater 
part of them never saw 
a snowshoe slipping over 
the deep snows of the 
North, I’ll tell you how 
they perform in that part 
of New Hampshire not 
yet spoiled for the hunter 
by having too much popu- 
lation. 
The long, racy snow- 
shoe has that protective 
coloration which Dame 
Nature gives to so many 
of her birds and animals. 
The snowshoe is a true 
hare, its young being born 
with a full coat of fur 
and with their eyes open 
instead of with a bare 
skin and closed eyes as 
are the cottontail babies. 
And while the cottontail : 
is all but helpless for 
quite some time after it 
comes into this world, the . 
snowshoe can hop around 
a bit very soon after 

birth as can the Jack rab- 
bit, another true hare of the middle 
and far west. 
About the time the snow disappears 
in the spring time, our snowshoes be- 
come reddish brown and so closely do 
they resemble their wcodland_ back- 
ground that when they are not in mo- 
tion it is almost impossible to see 
them. When the time comes for the 
first late autumn snows, this hare of 
New England becomes almost white so 
that the eyes of its enemies generally 
fail to discover it unless it is on the 
move. When the white winter coat 
pushes through the reddish brown un- 
der fur of summer, the long and rather 
broad hind feet become longer and 
much broader by having an extra 
growth of hair on the bottom. This 
is a very wise and useful provision 
of nature which enables the shadowy 
snowshoe to glide over soft deep snows 
which Molly cottontail would sink into 
so far it would be all but impossible 
for her to get away from a pursuing 
dog or even from a man. 
The home of our subjects is the 
dense and unbroken forest, especially 
that part where the undergrowth is 
thickest, young pines or hemlocks on

successful hunt. 
the ridges and hillsides and the thick 
alder growths of the frozen bottom 
lands afford the protection the varying 
hare needs. It is in such cover we go 
on a bright snappy winter’s morning 
with a good dog or two and soon we 
find paths beaten in the snow by the 
game we are after. 
pares goes the dog, tonguing often 
enough so we know where he is, 
until, suddenly, the bark changes to 
that fast, anxious cry which tells that 
the snowshoe is up and the race is on. 
Then, in circles which often take the 
dog out of our hearing for a time. 
That northern hare leads the way, and- 
unless he is shot or the dog loses, the 
race may last all day, for the snow- 
shoe rarely finds it necessary to seek 
refuge in the ground. Our part of the 
game is to guess, if we can, where and 
when this fleet and easy-going runner 
will cross some old log road or show 
for an instant in some opening and 
then, if we are quick and accurate 
enough with our favorite guns, the | 
chase ends and we have the material 
for a delicious game dinner next day.
