Speed Goats

Post by Paladin »

I thought I would share a video my wife took yesterday of some of the Pronghorns near us. They can run up to 55-60 MPH and still crawl under fences.

Sorry, I tried two more times to get it to work and refer back to my Analog guy trying to live in a digital world. She videoed a herd of Pronghorns crossing the road going under the fence on both sides.

Yep, worked for me. Lots of curious things about Pronghorns for sure. I've never seen one jump a fence, but they do get caught in them fairly often. And when they cross the highway and you hit one, it's not the one you hit that does the damage but the three or four right behind it that total your car from broadside. Now that has never happened to me but I've seen it happen to several friends. I've driven in Wyoming now for well over fifty years and only hit one antelope and that was with a truck and horse trailer----he was being chased by another buck that just missed the rear of the horse trailer. They are determined when they run and I've seen several run into semi's broad side on I-80.

The toll that vehicles take on deer and antelope is pretty sickening around here. Mule deer especially are sitting ducks.

Just tried it again, and it worked fine today! Not only opened, but opened in seconds! Thanks!
