I believe that you use to only see moose in canoe country, but it seems like deer have increased over the years.  Likewise I don't see many rabbits in the BWCA.   Although I did see rabbit tracks on my last trip.  I suspect they are more abundant in the aspen type woods to the south.  When I was younger we used to try to snare rabbits, but wasn't very sussessful.  I think it's best to try to develop a funnel with logs or rocks that drives them into the trap, with numerous lines to check.  It will at least keep you busy while waiting for rescue.
