The real jackalopes, came from Wyoming, up in the Biig Horn Mountains.
There is also a herd off wild mustang horses there, and fossills.
During the 1890s cowboys took a few jackalopes to Texas, to see how they would do down there.
Obviously they did good. One of the cowboys was my grandfather, who took on the nickname of "Tex" after the jackalope caper.
We had a Wyoming jackalope, stuffed and munted on the wall when I was a kid.
