My buddy and I were riding my side by side on a dirt road. A pronghorn was in the brush off to the side. I figured he'd run off perpendicular to us but he started running parallel. I was going about 35 and bumped it up to 45. He kept up then dropped it into another gear. Left us in his dust. Keep in mind while he was running he was clearing sagebrush and small washes. It was incredible. They can cover almost 25' per stride.Pronghorn are the second fastest animal on earth.
Seeing a pronghorn run full tilt, a bighorn sheep go up the side of a mountain, and hearing a nearby bull elk bugle are things everyone should experience.
