The thing that amazes me about this thread is how no has mention what excellent table fare Jackalopes truely are.
On my way to Montana I hit one with my Tahoe. The collision cause a blow out but I was fortunate enough to harvest a fresh killed lope. It was only a fork horn and those horns just tore my tire to shreds but the loss of the tire and minor body damage is a small price top pay for such fine meat.
The lope was instantly killed and somewhat tenderized when one of his main beams stuck into my sidewall of my right front tire as we cross paths at some 75 mph. It took a bit of distance to bring the Tahoe under control and to a stop. The "thump" "Bang" of his body alternately striking the pavement then my fender well was not a pleasent noise in the dark of the night along a lonely stretch of inter-state but the once I saw my prize I was thrilled.
A thorough job of field dressing the lope in the headlights and I was on my way.

Once in Camp, I was the hero who provides the greatest and rares of treats ever prepared on a campfire, Lope back straps and ribs. A meal I will always remember.
