Ahh the Jackalope, I've seen quite a few too. My grandmother grew up in South Dakota and my uncle lives in Arizona- I remember them from our family vacations out west when I was a kid.
On the subject of taxidermy curiosities- a member of another message board was showing off his recently acquired Fiji Mermaid. Check it out here:

You should see the other pieces this taxidermy place has done:

I'm going to stick to just feeding the live ones at the park.
