Antelope in fresh cut hay

In a field of freshly hewn hay? Those are some mighty pampered pronghorns you've got up there in Montanistan.
Down here in Ootah, I'd need a 1000mm lens or longer to get as good shot. And when I do see them, there sure isn't any reason to whistle. They know I'm around a lot sooner than I know they're around, and in those instances where they don't bolt, there's always a buck --like the one in your last shot-- who's none too shy about checking me out.
Good stuff, quix.

Thanks a lot! Here when they are in wilder land, just as you describe, long lens needed, and even then, they may spook. In the hayfields and on the farms, as with those today, pretty calm. By all reports, going back in time, they are also very curious. There are stories about them investigating a silk bandanna on a stick or a pinwheel - be interesting to try with a camera. Never hunted Pronghorn so not certain the "lures" are legal these days, or for that matter if the old tales are true!

Heard somewhere that they're curious, but never considered silk bandanas on a stick, much less pinwheels. May have to deviate on over to Amazon (or Pinwheel City On-Line?) to do a little order placing/investing in the future. I know just the places to plant a few pinwheels....

Fat and happy beauties! Really nice pictures, it's delightful to see them when they're not wary and skittish!

Good shots, quix. #3 looks like an editorial comment from that Pronghorn to you. Cheeky bugger, that.

nice work. But they are not Antelope.

Really?? Then what are they? Seems I have been misinformed my whole life. They bed down in my back yard and the DoW calls them antelopes. We need to get the DoW informed that they are wrong.
Just like Buffalo/Bison, there has been historical usage of a word that for some silly reason all of a sudden we are ignorant. You are correct DOW requires a license for hunting Antelope. Buffalo nickle, Buffalo Creek, Antelope Flats etc. Etc.
They will always be antelope and buffalo to me and others can call them prairie dogs if that makes them happy.
