Like arrow said. After a front passes especially if they've been holed up for a few days and the sun comes out they should too. Good luck!

HI Keith,
My experience with bunnies has been that, normally, they don't like adverse weather...especially new snow in large amounts.  They are kinda like people.  Following a fresh 6" snow I am not surprised you did not see a track.

When the weather warms up a bit, especially a sunny day or a warm (er) evening/night they'll be all over the place.

We've got about a foot and change on the ground up here.I seen day old bunny tracks just today.Just gotta get in the thick stuff and look.If you can walk easily through whatever you're in it's too open.

Like the others said I've had the best luck after a storm or on warm days in the 30's or 40's.
