Rabbit seasons are set by each state, and many run from fall through late winter.
Season dates
Some states open small game seasons in early fall. Wyoming, for example, opens on September 1. Oklahoma’s rabbit season has run into mid-March.
Tularemia
Tularemia, or rabbit fever, can be present any time of year. Wildlife agencies advise wearing rubber gloves when handling game and cooking meat thoroughly.
Licenses
A small game license usually covers rabbits. Check bag limits and any special rules for hares.
Dates and limits change every year. Always check the current regulations.
