An entirely hypothetical blog post.

Imagine you went for a walk in the woods with your dogs.  We're talking  a hypothetical walk with a couple of hypothetical dogs named ...saayyy (ummmm) Windy and Troy.

You (hypothetically) noticed on your lovely, snowy walk that someone else had walked along the same trail.

You were curious as their tracks kept stopping and veering briefly to one side or another.

Then, with a hypothetical gasp, you realized what the track-maker was up to.

Perhaps you should scroll back up and have a closer look at the first two photos again, and see if you can figure it out too.  I'll wait here.  You go look now.

Ahhh good, you're back.  

Did you see it: dead centre in each photo ?

Did you figure out what the nature-lover was up to ?

Here's a closer view.

A snare.

Clever way to garrote those pesky bunnies.

Setting snares for Snowshoe Hares is quite legal here in Nova Scotia: the offence would be if you damaged, destroyed or messed with someone's snares. 

So ... hypothetically speaking, what would YOU do if you came across eight or nine such things while out walking in your quiet wood ?
