Excellent catch, here! These gals can be tough to get close to!
They sure enough can. Until I went down ther I was unaware that:
1) Pronghorn are the only true antelope in America
2) They are the second fastest land mammal after the cheetah.
They are amazing to watch!

nice
Yes, they are FASCINATING! I’ve hunted them before, and was pleased (and amazed) to get within 250 yards of a herd. I wish you could have felt their hair – very coarse and stiff. Truly fascinating…glad for you, that you got this shot! :)
Interesting patchy coloring on these specimens…
