I always used a .22 when hunting for Snowshoe Hares. The purpose was more for the "hunt" than having to bring them home and eat them. Without a dog, most shots will be @ a stationary target anyway. What I learned most from hunting Snowshoes is that when you find tracks, you find a lot of tracks and they are generally there and not far away. Most of the time they will be concentrated in small areas where they have found preferred food and there will be very few of them outside of that area. Old snow will tell you where they are most active and these are the areas I would concentrate on. Like cottontails, they'll hole up in heavy snow and you will be hard pressed to find any without a dog. Like cottontails, as soon as the weather clears they will be active and easier to find.
