Included in the list are cottontails, particularly desert cottontail and also hares which consist of snowshoe hares, black-tailed jackrabbits and white-tailed jackrabbits. Rabbits run in circles once jumped and pursued, cottontails will make a circle the size of an acre or less while hares may cover a mile or more.燭here is no big problem as to the hunting location.
