NonPCfed trapper Joined: Dec 2015 se South Dakota	We used to have (white-tailed) jackrabbits around here but few and seldom nowadays. Our land grant university's teams are called the "Jackrabbits." It is a hare, with dark, strong (I think) meat compared to a cottontail rabbit with "white meat." We used to shoot the jacks in various ways, including center-fire rifles. I ate a few of them but it was a struggle compared to say pheasant or cottontail. I guess I wasn't hungry enough at that point to really enjoy those prairie hares. They cycled down after about 1983 around here and have never made a comeback. I think I've seen maybe less than 5 in my county in the last 20 years.

I shot a couple and you are correct, they are not good table fare compared to cottontail. Nowadays it's only cottontails except some of the big forested areas have snowshoes. Walt legge
