It is best when made with fresh (not frozen) "Jackalope" not readily available in most super markets, but plentiful on Texas Highway 67 between Bluff View and Early near Brownwood. If you can't find it, you can always substitute ground beef.

The Legend of the Jackalope.
The Jackalope (Lepus-temperamentalus) was once believed a fraud like that of Big Foot. A cross between a now extinct pygmy-deer and a species of early-rabbit, they are extremely shy unless approached. They do not breed well in capativity, hence the lack of a wide commerical market.
