apply. Fellow beaglers get special consideration and dispensation.
Membership in the Big Woods Hare Hunters of the Allegheny is bestowed for life.

We
are the proud members of the Big Woods Hare Hunters of the Allegheny. We
search the mountains, high swamps, clear-cuts and evergreen plantations of the
Allegheny High Plateau with beagles for the elusive snowshoe hare (Lepus
americanus). Headquartered in western Pennsylvania, high on the Allegheny
Plateau, we are a band of outdoor men and women dedicated to the preservation
of one of God’s greatest creations and one of Pennsylvania’s most elusive game
animals, the majestic and magnificent varying hare.
Founded in 2002, we are
a small, loosely organized, ever-expanding group of devoted beaglers, veteran
snowshoe hare hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, conservationists and
preservationists. We like to call ourselves “elite” mainly because we are the
select few. Few are the beaglers who dare venture onto the Allegheny High
Plateau in the bitter cold days of winter in search of the snowshoe hare making
the Big Woods Hare Hunters of the Allegheny a very exclusive group to be sure.
There is no weather too severe or snow too deep to curtail our passion for the
great outdoors. We love to get out into the elements, searching the Allegheny
High Plateau for the elusive snowshoe hare, enjoying the thrill of the chase,
while taking great pleasure in the beautiful beagle music as it rings across
the scenic Allegheny.
The
Big Woods Hare Hunters of the Allegheny are dedicated to conserving and
preserving the magnificent and omnipotent snowshoe hare on the Allegheny
Plateau. Our objective is to save this magnificent animal for future
generations of Pennsylvanians to enjoy. We take great pride in our mission of
conservation of the varying hare. The Big Woods Hare Hunters of the Allegheny
are determined to preserve the thrill of the chase for future generations of
beaglers.
