Antilocapra americana
Light brown antelope with white sides, bellies, and rumps. Males have unique 'pronged' horns.
Field
We were very surprised to see this herd so close to our home. Normally they stay out on the prairie, but they must have wandered up from the river bottom and found the nice hay fields pretty welcoming.

Hahahahaha SO true! Thanks guys!! :)
Pretty Skittish is an understatement for Prong Horn! LOL. It's so cool they were close enough for you to get these great quality images! :-)
If anyone has ever seen one of these in the wild, they will understand. Great Eyesight, superb hearing and massive amounts of speed, keep these awesome animals out of harms way. (along with being wary of any human within 300 yards!) lol
Hahahaha I think your too high in elevation and too cold! ....My brother calls them Prairie Goats. Hahahaha
Sweet! I don't ever see those around here.
Thanks Brandon! I was grateful for the long zoom on my camera... these guys were pretty skittish!!
Excellent Spotting! :-D
