The Hunt Never Ends....
I heard that Elmer was actually trespassing when he killed it? Rumor has it that the DNR is investigating as we speak.

It is going to be a good fall!
Justin Bieber might come up too, once he gets his drivers license back.

I heard he was drag racing Elmer to Iowa's greatest Jackalope outfitted

Me too but not because he wanted to kill a booner jackalope. He was just really stoned, had the munchies and heard about the giant carrot field Chris referred to. Rumor has it they send clients out with a bottle of Homemade Ranch and Bugs Bunny has been spotted on a trail cam. Only at night though.
Yeah, now they'll claim what they are owed and eat all of our jackalopes. I suppose that's better than NRs buying up all of our land, though...
You are so Wong, at least dog (yote) and cat (bob/mountain) numbers will finally decrease!

I saw the picture of that giant Jack and no way is it real, has to be photoshopped to be a Jack that big. Also heard it was taken illegally by the cousin who claims he shot it during ML season on his property.

I think I've seen a couple of those high fence operations and they are about 4ft. tall. I talked to the owners and I think they are trying to deny it because they swear it's just their garden! Come on I've hunted big Jacks all my life and could see how they had certain types of food plots planted to sustain huge antler growth throughout the year. Even noticed what looked like smaller pens with some breeding stock and some genetically altered bucks, but the guy claims those were his daughter's 4H project, but I could see right through the lies. It's getting to be big business here in SW Iowa and it's going to ruin the Jackalope hunting like we've experienced over the last 10 years. Between the high fence Jack outfitters and the MGA (Master Gardener Association) it's almost impossible for a non landowner here in SW Iowa to find any good land to hunt Jacks anymore.

I was checking out Oprah's twitter account and no pictures of the giant jack as of yet?? Martha had a good time she said, really likes Tiffany's mom and they are going to exchange recipes.

Not to be a downer, but I talked to the neighbors last night, and one took 36 during the antlerless season, another took 21, and the other took 17. This included 7 that had already shed and 10 buttons, rest were does.
By the way, can't wait to get out and find some jackalope sheds!

Only if shot with non-lead ammunition.

That is absolutely correct. They are prolific diggers. Fences should be no less than five feet deep if you want to keep them in. Also, they should be at least 5'8" tall and topped with razor wire because they will climb if they can't jump.
And its almost time for lope shed season out here. Its heavily regulated to prevent people from chasing them on ATVs to get them to drop early. Last I knew, lope antlers were $13/lb for fresh browns!
