Pronghorn

...without the horns.

Taken at Bryce Canyon, UT. Nothing great, but I've never been this close to 'em before.

Thanks. There were a few just grazing near the road, so I pulled over, slapped on the 70-200 and crossed over toward them.

I'm lucky they weren't skittish... when I first tried shooting, the camera was still set on 2-second timer and bracketing because I had been shooting landscapes.

Great shots.

There's a reason we call them "speed goats".

Nice shots.

Second only to the cheetah. And I learned something interesting... unlike deer, they never learned to jump fences. Hence, a good percentage of them starved when we moved west and started fencing off grazing land.

Hope you don't mind me sharing. Here's one from Utah that let me get close. Dugway Proving Grounds. It's a pretty rough area. I was actually there looking for wild horse herds along the old Pony Express Trail.

Not at all. Nice pic... I wish those I shot had had horns. My only other experience was up in Yellowstone; couldn't get real close, but got a couple shots off.

Nice to see

Love them. Especially the first two. You captured them and their environment perfectly.
