What do rabbits like for habitat? I'm out in Western MA, so I can find nearly any combination of terrain somewhere - where do rabbits hang out? Thanks

They all hold lots of cottontails. With the snow, it's even easier to find them. Generally the thicker the brush is where you will find them. Walk along the dirt roads/paths and you should see them dart back and forth.
