The interesting part is that they never last long.
I have done quite a bit of night hunting (legally) of them and when you come back through an area an hour or three later, 80% will already be gone. The desert owls will actually tear off the skin and leave the meat. I have seen a bunch of partially skinned jackrabbits and had wondered what in the world was doing that till I sat on a bluff one evening and watched two little owls skin some jacks I had shot down below me on a desert two track. Pretty neat to watch actually. Beats TV.
The badgers, coyotes, foxes, crows and everything else make very short work of them.
I think jackrabbits only exist to be a food source for practically everything else.
