This is a silly implication.
Not all jackalope images show the antlers.
Look at this, for example: https://e621.net/posts/1251988

If the character does not appear to have antlers, it ought to be tagged lagomorph only.

Okay, but also in other pictures of this character: https://e621.net/posts/2103100 they have horns, not antlers.
In fact, the name "jackalope" implies jack rabbit antelope, and antelopes have horns, not antlers.
Wikipedia agrees: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackalope
The jackalope is a mythical animal of North American folklore, in the category of fearsome critters, described as a jackrabbit with antelope horns. The word jackalope is a portmanteau of jackrabbit and antelope. Many jackalope taxidermy mounts, including the original, are made with deer antlers.
Usually pronghorn horns, in fact (which have their own oddness given they're forked horns that shed their keratin coating annually. Which is unique to pronghorns. But are still keratin and therefore horns.)

Fair enough. Since antlers implies horn anyway (which is not 100% adequate but that's a matter for another topic), then horn would indeed be more appropriate.
Have you ever written a BUR? It would be the same as the above one, just changing the remove and create keywords.
