Tobias, no punches being thrown here.

I don't think it is all that reasonable to say that a pack of dogs would have any advantage of catching a rabbit than a single dog or two or three.

Furthermore, its probably not reasonable to say (at least in the case of the rabbit) that there is a particular time of year that one should avoid hunting strictly because there are young rabbits out.

Ever heard the old saying "reproduce like rabbits?" Cottontails can raise as many as 6 litters in a year. In Indiana, anywhere from 3-4 litters would likely be the average with 3-6 young per litter.The rabbit’s gestation period is only 28 or 29 days, and a female is usually bred again within a few hours of giving birth. With IN's climate, rabbits could be having litters anywhere from March through October.
