Just the opposite for the tropics and other hotter regions. One also gets less diversity in species as one goes north. Bryce

Traditionally they are hunted in late winter/early spring. They are mating then, they say if you shoot the female the males wont leave and you get them all.

I remember a willow drainage and Jake would chase them around and get a shot at them. Long ride from Emo. Your closer. Have also shot them at Granite Mt. north of Koyuk and they are around Nome. They sell well on taxidermy.net. mt At an ATA meeting this winter a woman was asking about getting samples from the hares. They said the official designation is Alaska Hare. Arctics are in Canada. Probably, won't change what most of us call them. Last edited by martentrapper; 04/08/20 09:07 PM.
