Snared hares taste as good as those shot in the head, but you need to check the line early in the am, as here in Kodiak, foxes & birds often rob you. 
My 2 girls used to think that hares grew on bushes with a wire around their necks.
When we removed a hare & the girls noticed the snow all mussed up from its temporary struggles, they asked about that. I asked if they thought a fox and made the marks? My oldest said "Poppa, I don't think a fox made those scratch marks." 
This sort of activity encourages living off the land & independent thinking.
Northern Fired Bunny is more popular in our home than Southern Fried Chicken.
