Rabbit/Squirrel hunt

[cap'n cook]

A friend and I went up to the north end of Divide yesterday to find some rabbit. We walked several miles but nothing, saw a few tracks but didn't see anything. Didn't even hear a squirrel which would have been an OK alternative meat source
Snow was pretty deep, 8+ inches so we figured that was the reason they weren't out. Scenery was great and it was a nice winter day, good exercise too.
Anyone got any tips on finding the bunnies?

open my front door and shine a flashlight and theres a bunny sitting in the same spot every night LOL. except i killed him last night with my pellet gun so hopefully one of his buddies takes up his routine.

do any of you guys eat wild rabbit when its not in winter months? i ate a bunch of them this winter, but i stopped eating them like a month ago when it started warming up. ive read and always been told its safe in the winter because the freeze kills the sick ones, but not so in the summer.
