Title: European Hare, West of Orangeville
Post by: Napper on August 18, 2021, 10:14:51 AM

I was Cruising down County rd 12 West of Orangeville just a little North of Hwy 9 when a very large "Hare" crossed the road in front of us..Did a little looking into it and European Hare seems to be what is was.

The last time I saw a hare -- going back a few years now but about 10 km from my home -- it was moving around tall grass at the side of a gravel country road and I mistook it at first for a coyote, it was that tall!
