Great photos. I had to look twice at the first, I thought he was tied.

Wow, those are really good. It must be really neat to see wild life like that wandering around.

Neat! Do pronghorns roam like deer? Do they come close to your house or did you walk out to them? How close did you get to them? Sorry for all the questions. I live in the midwest and know nothing about pronghorns.

I love the fact that there are still herds of wild deer roaming our western prairies. Makes me feel like maybe Africa doesn't have all the amazing wildlife out there.

Very cool! I've never seen any in pics taken by "real" people - just the National Geo types!

Susan said...

Yea that first one did look like he had a rope around his neck. Great pictures.

Janice said...

Nice pics. Those are something we don't see in this area, nice to see something different.

I love Pronghorns. I dont know how anyone would want to hunt and shoot one.

They are so beautiful!

Amazing shots! I have found antelope to be one of hte most difficult animals to photograph so far! I have yet to get a decent picture. These were fantastic! How did you do it?

geez - how'd you get so close? or did you have a huge lens? Our pronghorns won't let us get anywhere near that close. nice shots!

Wow, I never knew there were antelope down there. I have this crazy notion that we have them here, but west and north of us dont, so noone elses does! Im glad to see so excellent pictures of them. We have a "resident" male who lives just outside our yard all spring and summer.

lol! Thanks, but I only use my little point and shoot Canon PowerShot camera, so no big lenses. The zoom on my camera is pretty good, though. But there were several herds all along this gravel road I was driving on. There were no other cars so it was very quiet. I just parked and used my vehicle as a sort of camera blind. As long as I didn't move away from my vehicle, they basically ignored me and didn't become alarmed.
