Pronghorns

[grizz1]

Found these Pronghorn out in the open country a few miles East of Custer South Dakota. There was a larger buck near the main herd but getting closer was not an option best I could tell so kept on hunting for a larger one.

Saw this buck a few miles later but he too was putting a lot of distance between us by the time I could get set up on him.


Finally caught this guy going into a rough wooded area, got ahead of him and let him come to me. Thought at first I had just got lucky on his direction of travel because of the rough terrain but I had actually sat up on his water supply and he was thirsty.

That last one is pretty nice buck Steve. You did very well getting up on him. They are so much fun to hunt. Everyone should hunt them at least once. Nice pics. So much fun hunting with a canon.

Good to hear your thoughts Terry because this area with it's animals are out of my league. I was thinking the last buck would be a nice first for someone like me but wasn't sure. Maybe others wouldn't laugh too hard if I tagged him, that's the fun part about the Canon, I shot him but everyone else has a chance at him too. I had trouble with these guys, they seem to move constantly, if they were standing their head would be moving and then maybe just as I was hitting the shutter button they would hit about 30 mph on me, is this typical or do I need practice?

Just keep tuning in Jerseyhunter, I have more to post, I'm just slow. Got pics of most of the animals I went after, missed the Wild Horses of all things not to find. Last time out there dang near ran over one with the car, hunting with camera is a lot like hunting with gun, never know what or when you will see something, main difference everything is legal.
