Being as I live in jackalope country, I have the opportunity to go after them often. For a bow hunt, I would use a sort of arrow that could easily be found, because the jackalope is somewhat of shape shifter, they are not always where you think they. Lighted nicks are legal here now, and would be a good idea! There are 2 known subspecies, 1 has antlers similar to the pronghorn "antelope", and prefers more open habitat, the other has antler similar to mule deer and prefers more forested habitat. There have been reports of a 3rd subspecies further to the east of here that has antler similar to the whitetail deer, both sexes are said to have antlers. Tracking is extremely difficult as their tracks seem to shift depending on mood and light conditions. The hunt requires at least 2 canteens, and a lot of luck! Some hunters have told me that it is easier to have a leprechaun join you for a drink than it is to get a shot at a jackalope. I think this is my year, though!😀😉
Hope you can use this data on your hunt.
