So much more civilized than the method I use.
Doug, hare isn't as finicky as it looks, just show it who's boss and you're good; I love the stuff. Our hares up here tend to be a mercurial bunch; one set of feet almost never matches up with the next. An old French dude I met on the Aroostook one day, years ago, told me to soak the feet in Woolite for a day or so, rinse it, and start tying. Does it work? ...I don't know, but it sounded good.
These are wild hares, with all the appropriate vagaries in genetics that a wild population might exhibit; consistency is right out the window. Small game season here is the same as bird season, so whenever we're out shooting birds (all the time) we're shooting bunnies, too. Holler, and I'll send some feet to you come October.
