Snowshoe hare in Colorado?

[Titan_Bow]

Hey guys,
I normally drive out to Craig to rabbit hunt and have always had good luck out there. I recently moved from the Front Range up into the foothills a bit. I’m going to get out and start chasing some bunnies here closer to the new house. Anyone get into snowshoes (or cottontails for that matter) in and around the Indian Peaks or along Peak to Peak or similar? Not looking for any spots, just what sort of terrain and habitat you would look for, what elevation this time of year, etc.

Thanks!

Hey there,
I'm new to hunting within the last couple of years and up in Summit County. I have yet to see a snowshoe hare but have been looking extensively! A lot of the online research studies about them suggest spruce/fir forests above 10k ft. I think I've been spending too much time in lodgepole. Good luck & have fun!

Used to find them up high in thick timber. Cottontails and Jack Rabbits in the sage flats. Shot my limit west of Craig many years ago.

Titan_bow , you find out any good beta last year for those snowshoes? I've got several this year, but they are just few and far between. Would be nice to find a spot that has a little more concentration.
