@@williamharn9048 Lol....My Shih Tzue's treats come in a plastic sack. They can hear me open any sack on the property and they suddenly become Greyhounds!
@@williamharn9048lol. Ours dachshunds run real fast when they hear us get a plate from the cupboard or when we open a package, especially a package of cheese….. can’t forget to pay the cheese tax!!
First time I drove across the states I was 18 years old, I was going to meet my new husband in Denver CO. I was coming from Washington state. While coming across Wyoming my sister and I got to see a herd of these creatures we stopped and just watched, it was amazing. Thanks Mike for bringing back a memory from sooo long ago.
I was blessed 12 yrs ago with the opportunity to harvest 2 wonderful pronghorns in New Mexico! Camping on an historical ex pinto bean farm! Sitting under a huge tree before the hunt opened I watched them with binoculars. Amazing to see them graze than all of a sudden one bolts then the rest follow. Love how they play with each other. Fascinated me how a pronghorn selects a mate then separates her from the herd! She tries to rejoin the herd he chases her and turns her way from the herd! Such great speed,,,,,,,one minute grazing here next minute grazing way off in the distance! Thank you New Mexico for my trophies!
Hey Mike! Thank You for another informative video! I have been through Wyoming many times and have seen lots of Pronghorn Antelope. They are beautiful creatures! It was nice to hear their history! Until your next video ~~~Stay safe, healthy, warm and happy! 🦌
We were out there in 08. Saw pronghorn everywhere. Even tangled up in fences. I'm thinking they most likely taste a lot like deer. Thanks Mike I enjoyed listening to you.
The pronghorn antelope closest living relative is the African Giraffe . Also , in Wyoming , after the drawing , there is almost always leftover tags available over the counter. Lots of public land in the state, anyone can hunt on it . Access is not a huge issue. The weather in WY is amazing this time of year. In a few weeks it’s deer season, it can be cold.
Great job at explaining the Pronghorn Antelope and how they are a key part of our United States. Thanks for sharing this with us, I hope you have a fantastic week!
Ive driven I 80 a number of times and seen the pronghorns several times while driving east , and heading back west . That was all before i moved to florida. Did not see them driving I10 east when i moved! Perhaps seeing them while riding Amtra east as well.. i know a few men who bow hunt for them also! I love that youve spme on the ranch and that you perticopate in allowing hunters to come and hunt there.
We have pronghorn here in NM. We've had them run alongside us on dirt roads. Once they kept running from one side of the road to the other right in front of my jeep and diving sideways through the barbedwire fences. It was fun to watch them.
I have bagged an animal from each of American's antlered wild animals except caribou but none of our horned wild animals. Of all the horned animals, I want a pronghorn more than any other, although a muskox sounds really cool. I am a meat hunter, not a trophy so it has never made sense to hunt antelope because with just 50 pounds of meat it would never come anywhere near the breakeven point when you include that much driving. Antelope are so very beautiful. We don't have any which are huntable in Washington state. Every year I drive across Wyoming 6-8 times and together with my wife we count antelope every time. We always see at least a couple hundred including those in Colorado but one time we counted over 1000. Thanks for this video on this great ranch asset you have there.
How lovely Mike! Another animal to my favorite lists! Informative as always, I look forward to all your videos! I'm not a hunter although a lot of my male relatives are! All the best to you and your family. 😊. Joni
The Pronghorn is a awesome species. I understand they can be hard on fences. It would be a shame to lose the Pronghorn from existence. I understand that numbers need to managed. Like everything there is a balance. I appreciate the video Take Care and Be safe on the Ranch. Out
I stumbled across your video while googling “animals that still aren’t Pokémon in the Americas.” Watched the whole thing. Thank you for posting, I enjoyed learning about this big-eyed beauty.
I hear that. In SWND , Adams , Bowman and Slope counties are not really that far from NE WY. So long as the weather is not awfully the antelope hang out. The way they move , if bad weather hits they can be in WY in 6 hours. In the really cold weather, -20 and 20mph wind they remind me of Bison. At that temp the deer and cattle are in deep cover trying to stay warm , the pronghorn and bison are running around playing
Mike that video is very informative. They are beautiful animals. Just like every other animal out there. I seen so many when my husband and I were in Wyoming last year. Enjoy your week OWL!😊
Back in the 60's on my unkles ranch up near Challis there were a ton of 'cantelopes' as we used to call em. We go out on horseback and they would race us! It was the funniest thing ever to be hauling A running alongside 20 antelope at 30 mph! The reason I say they were racing us, is because we didn't go chase them down, they would come close to us, day after day, and the race was on. It actually made riding and fixing fence lines fun.
Pronghorns are certainly fast. We see them scramble under fences when we see them while we are hunting mule deer. When they want to cross a trail, they are of one mind. . . . they want to get under that fence and get going. I have never hunted antelope. They are difficult to locate. A hunter does a lot of binocular work. Thank you for posting this video. They are majestic animals.
Just a thought, Mike. Cowboy Kent Rawlins goes around to different ranches cooking out of his chuck wagon. He might make a good partner for a video or two. He had a chicken fried steak throwdown about a year ago with Bobby Flay, a city slicker well known on the Iron Chef circuit. Just thinking he could do a chuck wagon brisket or ribs or whatever, showcasing your ranch meats.
Michael's previous experience as a D.J. makes it amazing how he can read something and make it sound like he was saying it without help. I didn't know that they were as small as they are and that they don't jump fences like a deer will.
A very curious animal. In Montana hunters use to "flag" them by placing a flag on a hill. The animals are curious what the flag was and would go to the flag. Bang - the hunters got the antelope. Montana finally outlawed flagging antelope.
As a man who had grown up in Gillette and Wyodak, my father and I killed many antelope.😊 We would go to the Carter ranch south of town or just head north of the homes at Wyodak, we would Tramp through several miles of grasslands (it seemed) then peak how to draw or over a rise crawling to see what was there.😅 seemed to always be some antelope grazing... We were never seen because my father's hunting abilities.
I grew up in Wyoming. One winter was very bad… below zero , winds and a lot of snow… the state purchased hay to feed the Pronghorns with… they wouldn’t touch anything that had been treated with chemicals… the state ended up putting a call out asking for anyone who had untreated grass hay rather than alfalfa, to sell them everything they had…
Pronghorn also get pregnant a have litter in them, latter in the year they abort the only ones that healthy depends on the feed that grows, droughts aren’t good for any honed creature. They usually have one baby and up to two. Thanks for the great info Mike.
My favorite fact about the Pronghorn is their speed is greatly faster than any predator in the current world except for the cheetah, which is not native in the US. But in the some what recent past there was the American Cheetah(not actually related as stated in the video and is a real cat) which probably was not as fast the African but still fast. However more speed is generally not a detriment to survival so the adaptation have not been lost yet.
Nice presentation. I was why you didn’t mention that the pronghorn is the only horned animal (as opposed to antlered) in the world that annually sheds the horn sheath and regrows it.
As I understand it there's more Antelope in Wyoming than people. In Gillette I remember seeing the golfers having to wait for them to move so they could finish their golfing. Other housing areas they were living lawn decorations. Antelope tastes very good too.

You think Pronghorn Antelope is the fastest land animal in North America.......You've never seen my chocolate Lab go after a rabbit lol
LOL
YUP! We had a black lab, Shadow, and a yellow Lab, Beau, that ran right over the top of the rabbits that lived in our grove. ..... 🐕🐰🐕🐰

I can see why you have so much admiration for the animals; so elegant when they run . Thank you for sharing Pronghorn Antelope. Take care!!!
Your welcome and thanks for watching Laura.
Loved the video. Thanks for letting people hunt on your land. Time honored tradition.
Glad ya liked it Dana.
How do they help the ranch ? Don’t they eat same food as cows
Wow Mike. I never even knew these animals existed. They're wonderful to look at and watch. Yup, seems like they're pretty fast allright.
Hi Mags where are you from?
Love them speed goats...
That's some National Geographic quality video documentary Mike. Great job

ARE THE GOOD EATING
Thanks for sharing that info Scott.
@@joenicoud5967in my opinion yes. However much depends on how they are harvested and the meat is cared for.

Thanks for watching Dan.
Those are speed goats.
You do better documentaries than national geographic
I loved seeing them along the roads around Laramie
I like seeing them farther off the road sides.
Well for being Wyoming they would be at least 5miles away from the road. That could be considered close. At least closer then deer in Iowa 😉
This was travelling to get to Laramie but also saw them on back roads.
Hi Julie where are you from 😊
@@kenhartman9981 Iowa
Antelope fit into the landscape beautifully!
They sure do.
This is one of your greatest videos truly enjoying😊

You really gotta keep alert when they are running along side of you on the road. They like to take turns right in front of your car!
@@OurWyomingLife Yep, it's like a game for them.
Thank you for another great video God bless you and your family ❤
Your welcome Rebecca, and your also.
Mike, this was SO interesting, thank you!
I got to see some pronghorned antelope back in 2010. They are a very interesting animal.
I agree they are interesting. Thanks for watching Rebekah.
Now this was a cool surprise video. I dig it!
I was hoping you would show these beauties. Keep going Mike, we'll make a UA-camr out of you yet. Ha Ha. You are doing a great job.

Excellent video Mike. Hunted them for about 20 years with my dad in the Beaver Rim area. Lots of good info. Make us a mule deer video please.
Glad you enjoyed it Tom. Thanks for sharing the memory.

This was great! Thanks for sharing this. I live in Redmond Oregon also known as Central Oregon. We have Antelope here too.
Awesome video! I really love these critters; fun to hunt and awesome table fare. I think they are as much an icon to the west as mule deer are.
Glad ya liked it and thanks for watching.
🤣the speed goat of North America
Wonderful video Mike. I love watching them run. So graceful.
I stumbled across your video while googling “animals that still aren’t Pokémon in the Americas.” Watched the whole thing. Thank you for posting, I enjoyed learning about this big-eyed beauty.
WOW I learned something new thanks
I have seen them years ago when we drove through South Dakota and Wyoming when we went to Yellowstone, Wyoming. They are a beautiful animal
Speed goats!
Very interesting video. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it sunflowermarcia.
Beautiful animals! 👍👍👍
They are!
Great informative video! I hope someday I can see a Pronghorn Antelope.
Glad ya liked the video Paula.
I'm surprised that that map didn't involve much of Idaho. There's actually a fair number of prairie ghosts here in East Idaho.
I visited Wyoming this spring. Beautiful animals. Closet living relatives are the Giraffe and Okapi.
Antelope are beautiful and unique. There aren't as many here in NW ND as there are in WY.
SW ND has them. Increasingly elk, moose, and mt lions also
@@scotthanson7888 We're getting more moose too.

There are some things that never get old to see out the window.
Great show. I love seeing the antelope everytime I head back home to wyoming
Glad you enjoyed it. The antelope is one of the ways I know I'm getting close to home.
Its awesome that you have them on your land have a grea t day and enjoy
