Movements of jackrabbits depend primarily on the availability and location of food. When food is scarce, jackrabbits will move longer distances in search of food.

Daily movements of 1 to 2 miles (1.6 to 3.2 km) each way are fairly common. In dry seasons, 10-mile (16-km) round trips from desert to alfalfa fields have been reported.
