Hare Hunting In The Adirondacks

Hare Hunting with Hounds

Snowshoe hare hunting is one of the most iconic traditions in the Adirondacks. Our hound-led hunts are fast-paced, exciting, and deeply rooted in regional heritage.

During a typical hare hunt:

• Guides locate fresh tracks

• Hunters position along natural escape routes

• The chase may circle repeatedly, offering multiple shot opportunities

This style of hunting is ideal for both beginners and seasoned hunters and provides nonstop action throughout the day.
