So what do you use to hunt rabbits, a shotgun or a rifle?

Around here everyone I know uses a shotgun as they're either hunting with beagles or are in a small group (typically 3-4) working a fence row or RR tracks. I know rabbit hunting with a rimfire rifle or even a 22 Hornet or .25-20 used to be quite popular so I'm just curious if folks in other regions still hunt with rifles or if shotgunning has taken over everywhere.

I've primarily hunted them with a shotgun over the years, but if there's a fresh inch or so of snow on the ground I love to venture into the woods with my trusty 22LR to bag a few. Fresh snow helps them stand out and you'll know all the tracks are fresh from that night/morning.
