Easy Rabbit And Hare Locations Guide - Hunting Simulator 2 [PC]

I hope you all had great holidays and a good start into the new year.
A few weeks ago I got a comment asking about making a video on rabbits, hares and their locations.
And so we have a topic for today's video.

If you go wait in the stand near the cabin in Roosevelt Forrest facing the river eventually down below a jackrabbit comes from Tue right going left

[@Thund3rtheHunter]

Thanks for the info! An additional potential spot is for sure helpful for those who haven't found a jackrabbit yet.

[@OmnicidalZombie]

Thank you dude, awesome tunes also 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

[@Thund3rtheHunter]

Thanks a lot, I´m happy if my videos are helpful.

[@Raikon316]

I has figured out, Go hunt during rainy and save your scent killer. You don’t need scent killer and got them close around 30 yards and spooky around 20 yards. CTR in at NE area and JRH at northwest near pond also everywhere at southern area. Both are in Roosevelt. Don’t need dog or can bring pointer. Beagle… meh barking to scare rabbits away. Best to hunt during rainy and any time slots.

[@Thund3rtheHunter]

Cool, thanks for the info! I'll try that when I get a Roosevelt Forest map on a rainy day.

[@chiefsmallrod881]

Why do i feel like this mans has commented this on every rabbit vide9 you posted 😂

[@555scubasteve555]

Appreciate this video dude, thankyou

[@Thund3rtheHunter]

Thanks a lot!

[@MalachiWhitner]

Finally got the snow hare thank you

[@Thund3rtheHunter]

Nice to hear that it worked for you.

[@robinhochstedler3740]

I get my brown hares in the czheck marshlands on the east bank of the the large lake that is furthest east of the center of the map. Sometimes between that lake and the two smaller lakes to the west. In the afternoon time period I get them around the campsite northeast of there.

[@Thund3rtheHunter]

Good to know, I´ll give it a try when I´m in the area.

[@marieberndt2570]

@Thund3r the Hunter, could you please make a video on European rabbits please. Also there is no video that is very specific on European rabbits.

[@Thund3rtheHunter]

At the time I made the video, the european rabbits were pretty easy. But I'll check the spot again to see if anything has changed. They usually hop around the western tower in czechia marshlands and it's very easy to get one for the lodge.

[@Mikedwalker]

There is no cottontail where you pointed out. I’ve searched up and down that area. Not even a trace.

[@Thund3rtheHunter]

Hey, thanks for your comment! I can confirm that they can be found there, I recently shot several at the location to maybe find a legendary specimen. It may help to play around with the timeslots when no animals spawn, I do that frequently and it usually helps.

[@mmackay65]

Amazing video

[@Thund3rtheHunter]

Thanks a lot!

[@meiba4691]

İn Colarado near of the field is goid for hares

[@user-ne5de2qf2e]

Thank you so much I need a 2 animals for all collection you help me)

[@Thund3rtheHunter]

Thank you for your comment! It´s always great to read that a video was helpful.

[@user-ne5de2qf2e]

@@Thund3rtheHunter you a good people!

[@marieberndt2570]

Could anyone explain a little more on the European rabbit, I still can’t find it. Or if anyone knows more videos that help explain the European rabbit better because no matter what I do I can’t get the European rabbit.

[@Thund3rtheHunter]

I recorded some footage today and a video on this topic will be ready later this week.

[@Brobrobro1053]

I finally got my first jackrabbit

[@Thund3rtheHunter]

Cool, I´m sure you will find the other rabbits too.

[@Brobrobro1053]

are there legendary rabbit, and legendary hairs

[@Thund3rtheHunter]

No there are are for sure no legendary versions of hares & rabbits and ducks & geese in the game. That was officially confirmed by Nacon.

[@brettbillingsley9986]

Have you ever encountered a cross fox on this game? It's a red fox with black stripes. I killed one. I was just wondering are they all like that?

[@Thund3rtheHunter]

Yes, I've seen that quite often. Some animals like the bear species always look the same, apart from the legendary spawns. But other animals such as foxes, elk and the bighorn sheep frequently have slight differences in their fur variants, even with the normal spawns.

[@madelineflynn3019]

Im lookign for whatever type of RABBIT is in roosevelt forest. You only touched on the jackrabbit hares, but do you have any idea where the RABBITS are there and what type it is???

[@Thund3rtheHunter]

Thank you for your comment and this interesting question! The rabbits in Roosevelt Forest are cotton-tails. When placing a marker on the map you can choose the matching icon. I saw them sometimes near the river at several locations but I never hunted for them on this map because it´s simply not efficient in the dense vegetation. Since I don´t enjoy small game and rabbit hunting that much I prefer the easier option to find cotton tails in Bandera Region.

[@rickmushinski8675]

I probably spent more time on the snowshoe hare then all the other animals combined. And only seen one other rabbit but couldn't get a shot. I CANNOT get that close even though I'm wearing same gear and crouched walking like I'm on lithium. Do you bother with the odor mask? Doesn't seem like it lasts long enough for a hunt. Only when you got an animal coming in and you don't want them to flee from your scent.

[@Thund3rtheHunter]

Thank you for your comment! For me, the rabbits and hares were one of the most annoying experiences in HS2. Sometimes it works quite well to get close enough to them, sometimes not at all. The scent blocker and wind powder can help a bit, but when the wind is unfavorable it is often very difficult. I made a lot of attempts until I collected all the rabbits as trophies for the lodge, and then all over again for the video. With a lot of patience, endless attempts and after a lot of cursing it works. If you know the locations to find the animals you can at least start and repeat many attempts in a relatively short time, that makes it a little easier.

[@danielboykin2179]

All of these worked for me except for the European Hare. No matter what I do he does not show up in the are you have marked on the map.

[@Thund3rtheHunter]

The european rabbit or the brown hare? If second, I can say that I see them frequently around and in the small forest near the eastern tent. Maybe changing the timeslot will help to reset the animal spawns.

[@MalachiWhitner]

I can’t get close enough to shoot it without them disappearing I’ve never gotten a rabbit

[@Thund3rtheHunter]

To get close, low visibility clothing is very helpful. It takes some practice, but with the right equipment and no dog around, it shouldn't be a problem.

[@RobertLunsford-el4td]

I just got a brown hair

[@princerooster1468]

How long do you have to wait when you get to therespective locations?

[@Thund3rtheHunter]

Thank you for your comment! It was faster than I thought. How long it takes can vary and depends heavily on how lucky you are with the animal spawn. I got some of them on the first try, others took longer. On average, I would say five to ten attempts per species should be enough to get one.

[@christinawilley5339]

Who won hunt I shot for snowshoe hares this morning

[@MAGA2024.]

Thanks for video, tried your spots but no luck, i think i'll give up

[@Thund3rtheHunter]

Thank you for your comment! The frustrating part is that these animals are so nervous. I'm sure I scared off countless rabbits before I knew they were around. The key is to sneak extremely careful and let the dog sit at a safe distance. I don't understand why the developers didn't include a small caliber for small game. There is no reason from a hunting ethics standpoint to only allow shotguns and bows. Be patient and keep trying, you only need one of each species and that's it for the achievement.

[@MAGA2024.]

@@Thund3rtheHunter Ye a 22lr would have been perfect but no, i feel like they made it painful on purpose, sort of a challenge I changed graphics quality to the lowest so there is no grass anymore and i can see clearly to a long distance but still no luck, i got the white one but that is all

[@Thund3rtheHunter]

@@MAGA2024. When absolutely nothing shows up it's kind of weird and suspicious. You could try changing the timeslot, sometimes that can help if the animal spawns are abnormal.

[@Thund3rtheHunter]

@@MAGA2024. I tried it again myself a few minutes ago. On the Marshlands map in the first attempt several rabbits around the northwestern tower and hares behind the forest in the west. In Bandera region also in the first attempt a Cottontail on the plateau near the tent. In Roosevelt Forest in the first attempt I ran into a moose, in the second attempt a jackrabbit was hopping around in the same place. During the recording for the video all places were repeatable, technically this should also work for you.

[@MAGA2024.]

@@Thund3rtheHunter i will try changing timeslot and add my answer here if it worked, thx a lot for your help

[@BrendaJames-m6m]

cotton tails and snowshoe are easy as the deer but the brown hare is gonna be the death of me

[@Thund3rtheHunter]

For me personally, the jackrabbit hare was the worst and hardest to find.

[@thechevroletcorvette-li3bx]

Thanks! I got all of them except the cotton tail is there any more locations for these?

[@Thund3rtheHunter]

Thank you for your comment! I guess there are other places to find them, especially in the desert. But I never cared about that because the location in the video worked great and fast.

[@thechevroletcorvette-li3bx]

Yea I found one after just sitting for a while thanks

[@Thund3rtheHunter]

@@thechevroletcorvette-li3bx Nice, congratulations! Sometimes it takes a while.

[@Raikon316]

Btw I found more locations in Roosevelt, caught 3 at Northeast area and go to the tip of river then head east. U’ll found lots of cotton tail tracks over there. I brought pointer and help lots. Also Moose and Black bear is there too.

[@Thund3rtheHunter]

@@Raikon316 Yes there are several places to find the animals. For the video I picked what I think are the easiest and fastest to repeat spots. For me personally small game hunting is rather annoying, I wanted to get the trophies as quickly as possible.

[@user-hx9ps6et1y]

All the foxes are like that😂

[@Thund3rtheHunter]

I'm not 100% sure anymore, but if I remember correctly the normal foxes didn't have black accents in their fur when the game was released and before the legendary patch. The patch slightly changed fur patterns on all animals, probably to color the legendary ones a bit different with low effort. I remember the first hunt after the patch, I shot a red deer and was surprised that the fur looked different than usual, but it was just a normal specimen and not a legendary one.

[@mieszkowrobel2274]

There are legendary turkeys. Has anyone ever seen a legendary hare or rabbit?

[@Thund3rtheHunter]

Back then it was officially confirmed that there are no legendary spawns for hares & rabbits and for ducks & geese. I think it was a Twitter post or a post in the Steam forums of HS2.

[@alexandervazquez8544]

Bro i killed a moose and found another one and i found grizzly bear prints in the area of roosvel forest

[@Thund3rtheHunter]

Yes this map can be extremely rewarding, I made a lot of credits there.

[@gordmartin3239]

you are the man of hunters :-) thanks for this video

[@Thund3rtheHunter]

Thank you for your comment and the positive feedback! I'm glad to hear that it was helpful.

[@user-ne5de2qf2e]

Bro I think for rabbits and hares will give 5000 because when I hunt for this animals I see the bears and mooses wth

[@Thund3rtheHunter]

Yes it's always handy to carry a proper secondary weapon with a large caliber just in case you come across a higher-value big game animal.

[@user-ne5de2qf2e]

@@Thund3rtheHunter look I hunt rabbit in Roosevelt forest, I can't find him, but, when I hunt him I see 3 moose, 3 bears, 1 puma, 4 deer. I don't know, why creators don't make rabbit call ,because hunt on they so hard.

[@Thund3rtheHunter]

@@user-ne5de2qf2e It was even harder when the game was released. They made it a bit easier in one of the first patches. But the rabbits are still insanely fast. The game lacks a legal small caliber rifle to hunt for them over longer distances.

[@user-ne5de2qf2e]

@@Thund3rtheHunter but really easier find bison when rabbits and hares

[@Thund3rtheHunter]

@@user-ne5de2qf2e I fully agree.

[@VernalJason]

those jackrabbits are so annoying to hunt that it took me like 3 hours to hunt those little furry bastards

[@Thund3rtheHunter]

That's true, I also spent more time on it than I wanted to. Personally, I'm not really interested in small game, it was all about filling the trophy slots in the lodge.
