Otherwise, things will be challenging. At least that was my experience in the Jamestown area when I hunted there half a century ago. You can find cottontails in shelterbelts but I had more success in the river hills along the James and Pipestone rivers. I think the trees are scrub oak, boxelder and maybe something else, but I am not a forester nor a botanist so I don't know. I do know what the cottontails hid in, and that is snowberry thickets, known as "buckbrush" to North Dakotans.
