From ghoulies and ghosties
And long-leggedy beasties
And things that go bump in the night
Good Lord, deliver us!

JUST BLOOMED TODAY
The Douglas, Wyoming Chamber of Commerce has issued thousands of Jackalope Hunting Licenses to tourists. The tags are good for hunting only during official Jackalope season, which occurs for only one day: June 31 from midnight to 2 AM. The hunter may not have an IQ greater than 72.

DID YOU KNOW...?URBAN LEGENDS ~THE JACKALOPE
The Jackalope is said to be a hybrid of the pygmy-deer and a species of "killer rabbit". 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. A peculiar feature of the milk is that it comes from the animal already homogenized on account of the creature’s powerful leaps.

The Jackalope is said to be a hybrid of the pygmy-deer and a species of "killer rabbit".

A peculiar feature of the milk is that it comes from the animal already homogenized on account of the creature’s powerful leaps.
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!" During days of the Old West, when cowboys gathered by the campfires singing at night, jackalopes could often be heard mimicking their voices. 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.
Reportedly, jackalopes are extremely shy unless approached. If you encounter a jackalope, quickly fall to the ground, and remain calm and still while humming the Roy Rogers song, “Happy Trails to You.”
