From now until midseason, cottontail rabbits captivate thousands of hunters in the Midwest. Reputed as fast and tricky quarry, these hares are famed as hasenpfeffer and fuel a major hunting season as about 30 million rabbits are expected to be shot by March, with roughly half from the region.
George Carson surveys cottontail populations across states noting fair to good yields, urges wary hunting in proper cover, and details timing, weather effects, and– with dogs or alone– preferred gear. He endorses Beagle or Basset Hound packs and suggests a 410 or 20 gauge shotgun with size six or seven and a half shot for effective sport.
Patoka notes Christmas dinner guests for Mrs Grace Chance include Harold and Eula Britt of Springfield and Anna Britt. A hunting tip explains field dressing rabbits after shooting to improve meat and hygiene and mentions rubber gloves to reduce tularemia risk. Griffin family gathering in Griffin Saturday evening lists Ruth Willett and several Griffins and families from Vandalia.
