ID this critter

What is it?
To eliminate the potentially obvious,  I know it's not a wolf or a bobcat.
It could be an elk fairy.

Was that taken in Washington?
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is who you actually are while your reputation is merely who others think you are.

Yes, it was. E-WA.

I guess now that I look at it, it does look like a rabbit.

Snowshoe hare, look at the white feet, and the large ears give it away.

Bunny is the winner, I was thinking the ears were too big myself but I couldnt think of anything else that size. It looks alot bigger then it really probably was. Looks mid stride jumping down. Makes him look bigger.
