Since we are trying to introduce you to everything legal regarding hunting snowshoe hares, the only firearm you can use to hunt hares in the Vancouver Island region is a rifle; in other words, no shotgun hunting is allowed. Other than firearms, you can choose to hunt with dogs or falconry, making your harvest even easier. The traditional hunting method is to walk hares up, with one or more hunters moving side-by-side irregularly through the cover. Knowing the hare's habits will speed the hunting procedure up.
