In my area hares are rather common. In Finnish we call them "Forest hares"; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_hare

I took a short walk with the horses, and there were a lot of fox and hare tracks both crossing and following the path we walked. As the horses always have some hay in their pen, I guess the hares come to eat it as well.

As I have been keeping the sheep, I've had surplus of meat, so there has not been any need to learn to hunt. The only hunting I've done is trapping rats with a cage-type trap designed for raccoon dogs. (I guess the basic type of this trap is common everywhere - there is a bait inside a cage, the animal walks in, steps on a lever which triggers a mechanism to shut the cage door, and the animal is trapped inside.

Years ago we constructed small lever traps with Sami, just to see how the mechanism works. But we never tried them for real. And those primitive but traditional trap types are illegal in Finland, the only allowed use is in a real survival situation.
