    I don't know guys. I've always wondered if they were real. Here's someething from Wikipedia:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackelope

    Legend
    The legend of the jackalope has bred the rise of many outlandish (and largely tongue-in-cheek) claims as to the creature's habits. For example, it is said to be a hybrid of the pygmy-deer and a species of "killer-rabbit". Reportedly, jackalopes are extremely shy unless approached. Legend also has it that female jackalopes can be milked as they sleep belly up and that the milk can be used for a variety of medicinal purposes. It has also been said that the jackalope can convincingly imitate any sound, including the human voice. It uses this ability to elude pursuers, chiefly by using phrases such as "There he goes! That way!". It is said that a jackalope may be caught by putting a flask of whiskey out at night. The jackalope will drink its fill of whiskey and its intoxication will make it easier to hunt. In some parts of the United States it is said that jackalope meat has a taste similar to lobster. However, legend has it that they are dangerous if approached. It has also been said that jackalopes will only breed during electrical storms including hail, explaining its rarity.



    Based on these legends, the jackalopes could be real and might have been around at the time of Godhead.

    What do you guys think?

    Jackalopes sound suspiciously like the offspring of Bill Brasky.

    You can find a Jackalope on Sixth street. Or you can just go to its website.

    Of course they exist. One of my friends killed one and mounted its head on the wall of his shop.
