That thing in the photo is obviously a Jackalope!! Inbred jackrabbit and antelope mix. They are all over the U.P. of Michigan (Upper Peninsula) and parts of Minnesota to boot. I've seen several.

The last time I saw one was about twenty years ago. I was up in Ironwood for the North Country Folk Festival that Phil Kucera ran. I was in a bar in Ramsay, Michigan with Fritz Schuler and we'd been watching Spider John Koerner play pool. I went out for some cool air-----and there it was. I'll never forget it because that was the same day I saw a jackrabbit having intercourse with a skunk. (The rabbit didn't get all he wanted, but he did get about all he could stand!)
