Can't hunt til I actually get a gun of my own.
 Do the rabbits tend to go in cycles, or can it vary greatly from year to year?

Yes snowshoe hare do run in cycles.Most run in about a 7 year cycle.However Nova Scotia is on the southern edge of their range.The cycle could last seven years or twenty years.
Was out yesterday and bagged another rabbit.It was the second one I have seen this season. They are just starting to turn white. |

Out this afternoon for a short hunt.Went to two places with no luck.Then I found a spot that had not been dogged.Bagged two rabbits in about ten minutes.Went home a very happy person.
The 28 gauge Ithaca Model 37 worked great.I really like this shotgun. |

cottontail season is pretty much closed around here now. Too many 'yotes are out there taking all the game. it is so bad that the State of NH is considering putting on the endangered species list. Can you imagine, a rabbit endangered? That is how bad it is.

I haven't hunted with mine yet, but I have shot some skeet with it and it does handle like a dream. I don't like most 28's built on a small frame, they feel too much like a toothpick in my hands to me, but the M37 version feels liek it has heft and swings perfectly. they did a awesome job. --Jim
