This was a surprise to me. Our antelope are completely unique critters:

That was a good read. I see pronghorns all the time in western OK and Texas, never new much about them other than them being in large herds during the winter. I didn't know that they can't jump over fences, probably explains why you don't see alot of them as roadkill.
I saw 3 of them grazing out near Shoshoni, WY the other day, so I honked my big horns at them and about 10 more heads poked up out of the grass.

I read that a long time ago, and found it interesting we have an animal that is its own specie and unique in the world.
Never hunted them but I've read that a great spot to get a shot is in a wash where they go under the fences, or tie up the bottom two strands to make a crossing for them.
I still keep waiting for my # to come up in the controlled hunts, or if the population gets high enough they will have an open season.
