[redneckrepairs]

Its not needless , they are not only vermin , but a hazard I cant tell you how many times they have broken the bottom wire of my perminant fencing running under it at full tilt and catching the horns. My cattle are all skittish from them scratching their bellys and other parts while the calves are feeding . And now that spring is here the dammed critters have started unprovokedly attacking and goering my prairie dogs ( i know this since i see the poor gored dogs every time i patrol the towns , of course with an ar15 for jackalope defense ) . This is nothing more than another Liberal Doo Gooder plot to enable the U.N. to step in and take over america .

[phantomak47]

Why doesnt PETA get involved.....?

[redneckrepairs]

hmm if PETA = People Eating Tasty Animals ... well they are not exactly tasty , imaging chewing an old boot sole flavored with the dirty socks and you have the taste of jackalope . Its kinda like spotted owl flavored with thin slices of black tailed ferret.

Nothing beats a day of Triple Game Getting, getting back to camp, and cleaning the day's game for the evening meal.

The aroma of game, camaraderie of the camp, especially the kids, and the memories being made.

Jackalope, Camel-Back Bass, and Snipe, some things one just has to experience for themselves, words cannot describe such special times ...

Why I remember that day, just like yesterday, we were....

[Vern Humphrey]

PETA = People Eating Tasty Animals
PETA = Pinheads Espousing Total Asininity.

[svtruth]

When I was in grad school, at CCNY, we got a post card from the field station in Portal, NM.
Picture was a jackalope, blurb on back said they had never been caught.
The post-doc in the lab said "If they can photograph one, why ncan't they catch one?"

True jackalopes are very rare, mostly what people have are cottonwhitetails.

[sturmruger]

I shot at a Jackalope when I was in SD hunting pheasants, but the dang thing was just too fast for me. Our guide said that most people use turkey loads when Jackalope hunting so I figured I need to go back and bring some of my turkey loads.

[Art Eatman]

But what about the Side-Hill Dodger? Doesn't anybody care about them?

Art

[Smokey Joe]

Art, I'm with you! I care about side-hill dodgers! But what about the Frostbiting Snow Snake, the Terror of the North Woods??? There are all manner of strangely dangerous animals out there.

[Caimlas]

Local jackalope populations have been kinda sparse lately. I blame it on a growing 'yote population, but also on the fact that SD has seen a resurgence in the wolverine population (previously extinct in this locality for the last 100 years or so). It appears that jackalope is their preferred food...

[Vern Humphrey]

But what about the Frostbiting Snow Snake, the Terror of the North Woods???

Deadly critters -- they crawl up your leg and freeze your unmentionables!:what:

[Rey B]

Get revenge and take those snakes out while they are small.:neener: Drink them down in Ice Worm Cocktails!:evil:

[Vern Humphrey]

Drink them down in Ice Worm Cocktails!

Yet pray excuse my ignorance in matters such as these
A cocktail I can understand, but what's an ice worm, please?:p

[lesgeaux]

This if funny as hell.

Just did a visual scan, did not do all the numbers, but is it just me or did you all notice that most of the uniformed, help the jacks, comments came from the brainwashed californians.

Not picking on the californians, just the hook, line, and sinker ones without a clue.

[Vern Humphrey]

Not picking on the californians, just the hook, line, and sinker ones without a clue.

That would be like . . . all of them.:neener:

[Mike U.]

OMG!!!

That site nearly killed me!

I have not laughed so hard in a couple of years. My ribs hurt, my eyes are burning from the tears, and I think I pulled a muscle in my upper back. :what:

YOU GUYS HAVE GOT TO READ THE COMMENTS! There was 151 comments just now and about 80% of them are side splittin' hilarious.

Thank you very much for that link!

[sharkhunter2018]

Whew, thats an elusive little creature....:D

[redneck2]

Its kinda like spotted owl flavored with thin slices of black tailed ferret.
I just don't see the idea of eating jackalope. Way too tough.

Personally, I prefer bald eagle, though a loon is a close second.

[sturmruger]

After reading all of the comments here at work my coworkers think I have been drinking or something. I have never laughed so hard!

[auschip]

Mounting jackalopes? I knew there was something funny going on around here! :evil:

[Carl N. Brown]

I saw my first mounted jackalope on the wall of a
neighborhood general store back in the 1950s when
I was a kid. If folks are still killing jackalopes and
mounting their heads as trophies, that indicates there
is a sustainable population. Get over it: it is not like
they are an endangered species.

You ban killing and mounting jackalopes, the population
could spiral out of control. Thinning the herd judicously
also prevents the tragedy of humans caught in path
of a jackalope herd stampede.

[H&Hhunter]

Well I have to admitt that I am against killing of the common Jackalope. They are so small and cute and they are becoming endangered due to their seemingly docile attitudes and the fact that they simply won't run from man.

This is in fact a traight that was developed back when jackalope hunted man before the advent of western dinners. Oh yes it's true man at one time was the jackalopes favorite prey.

Of course the animal that I support the unmitigated slaughter of is the high plains jackalope (jackalopes high plainus texancanus horblis) or simply the HPJ for short.

I can remeber a time not to long ago when a wounded HPJ took out an entire party of cub scouts on a nature walk. Then there was that little incident in the Guadalupes with park ranger the preist and the cowboy. I am sure we all remeber that one.

So to put it lightly save the jackalope but kill those high plains sucker where ever and whenever you find them.

[joebogey]

Afetr reading some of the comments on the petition site, I'm amazed at how gullible some folks are.
Some are ready to fight for an animal that they know nothing about.
It's no wonder this country is in the shape it's in. :(

[chemist308]

I actually had one lady believing I shot mine out in Wyoming. :D I agree, PETA definitely needs to be involved--that petition will get a whole bunch more signatures. :evil:

[Troutman]

One has to save the Jackalope population for conservation reasons. Just like the Unicorn population. I set traps for them all the time. One of these days I will be lucky enough to catch one male and female. And repopulate them. A life long mission in life, before I drop dead.

[redneck2]

So, someone start a thread "Best Caliber for Jackalope"

.338 minimum....use enough gun

[Sniper X]

How funny would it be if PETA actually had a whole bunch of people we knew were PETA members sign it!? God! It would be grounds for disbanding the group by reason of mental deficiency! Now there allready is reason for reasonable people to do that but if this were the case, everybody would know how wacked they are!

[HuntAndFish]

HAHA!

Makes you wonder if there is a similiar website for the Chupacabra.

[Troutman]

<<How funny would it be if PETA actually had a whole bunch of people we knew were PETA members sign it!? God! It would be grounds for disbanding the group by reason of mental deficiency!

Yes....And they would take up doing this

got a nice 12 pointer out back last night...little critter weighed 6 pounds. WAHOO

[sm]

I gotta great idea for a Photo Op for Politicians.

Now imagine a Photo-Shop of one of these Politicians out hunting Jackalope.
Of course we need a to make sure this "friend of hunters and guns owners" was presented this nice gun by some gun mfg, I bet quite a few folks like Barrett would lend his name to this deal.

Politicians having to "one-up" one another would be scheduling various hunts to outdo one another...

Side-Hill Dodger hunting.

Now this would just be too good having a Politician doing a Photo-Op and PETA out in numbers with MSM with live feed, gun Grabbers raising a fuss about the guns used, and ...

This would be a Grand Slam for Gun Owners and Freedom.

[pdowg881]

I'm going to start a petition warning people that the govt and FDA allow thousands of food companies to put sodium chloride in foods.

[zinj]

Sodium Chloride? That stuff is child's play compared to Dihydrogen Monoxide!

[pdowg881]

I heard there's loads of it in bottled water.

[uk roe hunter]

That first 50 signatures and comments, i nearly did myself a laughing injury

[obxned]

Many long years ago when I was a poor starving student we used to make beer money shooting winter jackrabbits for a local taxidermist. As long as they were in winter white and the cape undanaged, he bought them.

I also worked part-time at the local Holiday Inn. Back then the motels of the chain used a teletype system for communicating amoung themselves. One night I saw a message from some Inn in New Mexico that had a couple there who after a two week stay had not yet seen a single Jackalope. I cabled back that we had several large herds just west of town (Laramie Wyo), and although we were seeing mostly does, there must be a buck around somewhere. The next day they booked a room for a week.

[bearmgc]

Dang Jackalopes eat my pumpkims and radishes, then fart all night long..keeps me AWAKE! They gotta nest in my basement. Youbechatootin I'm shootin 'em!:neener:

[Hokkmike]

But they taste so good !

[Afy]

Would some kind soul please send me a mounted Jackalope? ;)

Clearly the best caliber for Jackalope is 700 Nitro.

[mek42]

That site has neglected to mention that a major cause for the reduction in the jackalope population is the contamination of our water supplies with DHMO. DHMO, or dihydrogenmonoxide, is a very nasty chemical that causes thousands of deaths each year. Even worse, once an organism comes into contact with DHMO, the chemical induces a strong addiction. To date, all attempts to break DHMO addiction have met with the death of the organism.

DHMO has several man-made sources that contaminate the environment, not the least of which are automobile emissions. Clearly, we have all heard how dangerous carbon monoxide is, how can a different monoxide be any less hazardous? Further, every time we flush our toilets we release more DHMO into the environment - not even the most modern wastewater treatment facilities can keep DHMO from being released into the environment.

Lastly, a considerable amount of DHMO was safely stored in the polar ice formations. Since these formations have been melting due to global warming, DHMO contamination has been increasing at dramatic levels.

We need to make sure that DHMO is banned! No compromise solution will help, DHMO should be banned immediately lest the jackalope population suffer from further decline.

[Vern Humphrey]

That site has neglected to mention that a major cause for the reduction in the jackalope population is the contamination of our water supplies with DHMO.
That great environmentalist, Sheryl Crow assures us we can reverse this if we only use one sheet of toilet paper.

That other great environmentalist, Rosie O'Donnel, disagrees however, asking, "Have you seen my a**?"

And 300 million Americans responded, "Thank God, no!"

[koja48]

Only the left sidehill dodger is endangered; right & ambi dodgers (also known in certain locales as "sidehill gougers") are thriving. Scientific studies have determined the decline to be the result of coaxial adversion inhibiting north-to-west-running ridges & homonuclear adhesion theory . . . Al Gore said so . . . film at eleven . . .
