This constellation depicts the tracks of a rabbit running and leaping out. When Rabbit Tracks turns on its side in the early fall, it signifies that deer are old enough to survive without their mothers, and people can begin to hunt them. The constellation thus heralds the beginning of deer hunting season.
This constellation is located in the lower curved tail of Scorpius. It is found in the southwest sky in the fall and slowly tilts to the west as the months progress.
