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.
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! - The Equestrian Vagabond
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.

On Re-Homing an Animal:
"Sometimes, the greatest gift you can give an animal is to recognize that that they might be better off somewhere else and then finding that somewhere for them." and
"The best animal owners are the ones who recognize the animal's needs over the preservation of their own pride and selfishness."

Good trail partners are not just about keeping pace – it is about riding with people who will inspire and encourage you. Good trail horses are generally made rather than found. The horses that have surmounted some baggage are doubly esteemed because they required their rider to dig a bit deeper. ~Horsebytes

In my opinion, a horse is the animal to have. One Thousand pounds of raw muscle, power, grace, and sweat between your legs.
It's something you just can't get from a pet hamster.

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

Very cool! I've never seen any in pics taken by "real" people - just the National Geo types!
Yea that first one did look like he had a rope around his neck. Great pictures.
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!
