Jamie, Snowshoes like the cedars, helocks and spruce, they also like the old clear cuts and christmas tree farms if you can find one to hunt on, they are a big woods ceritter and you do not find them were you would normally find cottontails, but they are probally the easiest to hunt by stalking you have to look for their eye and the tips of the ears they will not run normally just sit and give you a shot, once you spot a few, it will come easier and they have to leave tracks, another way to locate them is to ride the back roads were you have an idea some live until you find tracks, access should not be to much of a problem in the catskills, quite a bit of public land. Good luck and have fun take some pics for all of us. Chris
