When I first happened across this handsome (but scraggly, shedding) fellow, he was actually pretty close. But, pronghorn are quite shy and this one was no different, quickly putting some distance between he and I.
They are, however, also notoriously curious and I used a trick I learned long ago – I waved my arm. That motion was enough to get him to stop, turn around, and investigate.
As you can tell, he is shedding his winter coat and none too soon given how hot it has been lately here on the Colorado Front Range.
