Rabbits and Hares of Northern Ontario

There are at least 66 varieties of the Rabbit in the world three of which are known to be in the Virginiatown / Kearns area of northeastern Ontario, not counting the domesticated rabbit which can weigh between 1 to 5 kg (2 to 11 lbs) and varies in color from pure white, black, gray, to a combination of black and white and all other kinds of shades in between. The rabbit breeds from 4 to 8 times a year and has between three to eight young in each litter. Virginiatown is located 40km (25 miles) east of Kirkland Lake Ontario and approx 40km (25 miles) west of Rouyn Noranda.

Rabbit and Hare

Rabbit and Hare (Rabbit picture) season opens in Virginiatown (WMU 28) September 1st to June 15th. The Virginiatown / Kearns area, affords the hunter the ability to hunt on Sundays.

We strive to be accurate as possible with this information but hunters should check with a outfitter or the MNR to be sure of the area, the hunting seasons and possible new regulations.

We are located in the Wildlife Management Unit 28 ( WMU 28 )
