Jaret, his dad, and a good friend were hunting for varying hares in the Allegheny National Forest of McKean County, PA. during the 2020-2021 season.

On the opening day of the 2020-2021 season, Saturday, December 26th,10-inches of freshly fallen snow was on the ground and the temperatures were in the 9-degree range.

Jaret shot the trophy snowshoe hare after a two-hour chase by his highly trained beagles with a Thompson Contender .410 handgun.

Jaret and his dad, John, hunt snowshoe hare in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State, Maine as well as Pennsylvania.

Jaret besides being a hare hunter is a real beagler. He hunts, trains, breeds champion beagles, trials, and judges.

The members of the Big Woods Hare Hunters of the Allegheny wish to gratulate Jaret on his successful hunt and thank him for preserving this wonderous and magnificent animal to be enjoyed and honored. We know Jaret will display his omnipotent snowshoe hare trophy in a place of prominence in his home for all to enjoy and we know he will cherish it for years to come.
