snowshoe hares opener?

[maxbo36]

A few friends and I are planning a trip to parishville Ny for the opener of the Hare season.  I have never hunted them this early before and am worried about messing up deer and bear hunters with our dogs.  Does anyone have any insight as to rather or not it is a bad idea to make the trip.  We will be mostly hunting state land.  Also if anyone wants to hook up, i would love to meet some fellow bunny chasers, we are not set in stone as far as parishville either, if you have a good spot we could surely come to you.

I no longer can hunt  to keep up woth the dogs due to bad leg.

But we always would wait till they had snow on the ground and the hare had turned white.

We went for the early season by black lake, but hunted just plain rabbits and had a ball. Lots of rabbits and also lots of state land or people did not seem to mind us hunting rabbits. Just had to ask.
