The Mythical Pa. Creature known as the Jackalope

 Yes the Jackalope takes a special place in mythical beasts in Pa. almost every Gun and Sportsman shop in Northwest Pa at one time or another had a stuffed one hanging on its walls.

Very rare to spot in the woods the lucky hunter who got one was like bagging a Unicorn .

Described as a combination of a Rabbit with Horns They where said to be found deep in the dark forests of the Allegheny National Forrest .

I saw my first Jackalope mount in a sportsman's shop in Butler Pa. which is long gone which was a conversation piece and a good practical joke the owner pulled on new green hunters and others

Started as a Joke by some Brothers who where taxidermists in Wyoming  who sold them   they have been spotted all over the US

Of course with Photo Shop now real Life looking Jackalopes are popping up all over the Internet.
