I used to hunt snowshoes off snowshoes in both ALger and Schoolcraft Counties in the UP. Along the swamps the border both sides of the Laughing Whitefish River there used to be lots of hares. I also found them along the beaches back under the low-growing brush along Lake Michigan near Manistique.
I DO know the first two I ever tried to eat, I skinned, cut up, rolled in flour, and fried, like we always did cotton tails, turned out very interesting! I used the word 'tried' above, because that's all that happened. The bottom of my old combat boots coulen't have been more tough!
If you get one and it's a really big old boy, be sure to use a pressure cooker to soften him up for your plate!
These two areas are the only ones I've had experience with. And it's been a few years since I hunted there with my longbow.
Best of luck, Arch
