A. There are no laws restricting the type of weapon that may be used to hunt cottontail rabbits or snowshoe hares. Cottontails are commonly taken by a variety of weapons ranging from archery equipment to .22 handguns. From a practical standpoint, the limited range of a pellet gun dictates that only close shots should be taken and hunters are advised to try for head shots to insure a clean kill.
