The Pronghorn Antelope Population In Each State They Inhabit

[@CplSkiUSMC]

Here in Wyoming we're constantly tripping over pronghorns. There are so many antelope that they've cross breed with jack rabbits and now we have to deal with jackalopes too! It's crazy!!

[@YakubibnEsau]

Ah yes, the elusive jackalope! Someday, maybe, I’ll see one!😂

[@CplSkiUSMC]

@@YakubibnEsau Be careful... elusive yes, but you know how dangerous they can be when exposed! Kinda like a politician on the Diddy list.

[@YakubibnEsau]

@@CplSkiUSMC I hope I see it before it sees me!

[@indyreno2933]

Jackalopes don't exist, jackrabbits cannot interbreed with pecorans because they are not closely related.

[@nolanbowen8800]

When I lived in Green River, you would see antelope from town. If you left town you had more than a 90% chance of seeing them.

[@paullarson3417]

In South Dakota one day, I watched a pronghorn doe chase a coyote away.

[@jamesvonwald3518]

I traveled to Arizona back in 2013 and I saw a herd of pronghorn out in the fields along the road.

[@Doktracy]

I lived north of Fort Collins for 4 years on 120 acres of grassland. I had a herd visiting my property daily. I’ve also seen them frequently in the panhandles of Oklahoma and TX. When I was stationed at FE Warren AFB in WY, there was a white (leukistic) pronghorn in the resident herd.

[@josephmclennan1229]

I have seen lots of Pronghorn , in western Nebraska right off of Interstate 80 .

[@lagodaax]

Me too!

[@markr.1984]

I had just come over the border of Wyoming about 20 miles back into Nebraska and about 30 pronghorn ran across I-80 in front of me and a big truck. One of the scariest moments in my life driving a car and I'm almost 67 now.

[@dinobarb3452]

Hart mountain antelope refuge in Oregon is magical. Had two babies approach my group that had clearly never seen a person before.

[@John-ld3hd]

"was magical", most of the antelope population has drifted to private or public land with cattle. We will see if the fires this year help restore, and make Hart mountain desirable for wildlife like antelope again.

[@dinobarb3452]

@ hart mountain is very suitable habitat for the pronghorn, not sure what you’re talking about. These animals are allowed to be on whatever land they like, they are the native ones, not the livestock.

[@John-ld3hd]

@@dinobarb3452 my point was the antelope generally prefer areas where livestock has been in the last couple years. While they can and do live on ground like Hart mountain or Sheldon, over time once the livestock is pulled off you see fewer and fewer. While I can't say I've seen it myself in those exact areas my friend who's family has been in Warner Valley for over four generations and is intimately familiar with them can attest to it. I can speak to areas with antelope in Nevada. Areas with recent cattle (by recent I mean from present to four years) activity I have observed higher antelope densities.

[@aidenelliott6509]

There’s so much in Montana bro. They’re in town too. Same with mule deer and white tail deer.

[@passholer]

Wyoming estimates of lost antelope in the winter of 22/23 were around 30,000

[@thomasjennings2593]

I live in Northwestern Arizona. I see pronghorns fairly often along Route 66 near Seligman. I also see them in Northern Nevada and Southern Utah. I see them also North of the Grand Canyon on the Arizona Strip. I lived in Wyoming for many years and the pronghorns were "everywhere."

We frequently see small herds just E of Denver and Colorado Springs. Beautiful animals coexisting with cattle, staying on the fringes of urban sprawl.

[@danielsemendinger4540]

Years ago, saw two young pronghorns racing each other (in Wyoming). That was a highlight from my vacation.

[@philOKC]

Normal Pronghorn population in Oklahoma is 2000 animals

[@andycronin6170]

Nebraska has around 6,000 pronghorn. The habitat is great for them in the western half of the state, but unfortunately too many agricultural based occupational dislike them.

[@_DB.COOPER]

New Mexicos pronghorn range from the Chihuahua desert at elevations of 3,700’ to the Rocky Mountains at over 10’300’. Interesting animals.

[@chuckmorton8823]

I've seen Pronghorn in AZ, NV, Utah, Wyoming and Montana. Most significantly in Yellowstone and the Tetons.

[@nolanbowen8800]

The cheetah may be faster but only for short distances. Within a quarter and no more than half mile the cheetah would be taking a break while our pronghorn would still be loping along at around 30 mph.

[@snappingbear]

They're fast because they evolved in the presence of the American cheetah that was bigger and faster than the African cheetah.

[@joannathesinger770]

​@@snappingbear ???American cheetah??? What you smoking, bro???

[@snappingbear]

@@joannathesinger770 Yes the American cheetah (Miracinonyx) that lived on the plains for at least 2.5 million years until the arrival of the Amer-Indian people 16,000 years ago. They hunted pronghorns and horses. There were at least two species of this "cheetah" M. inexpectatus and M. trumani and both were larger than the African cheetah though completely unrelated to it. The arms race of speed between Miracinonyx and their prey horses and pronghorns is the reason those animals are so fast.

Speedgoat

[@powerwagon3731]

Thanks! Very beautiful here in Colorado and plentiful.

[@georgem7965]

Here on the edge of Laramie, Wyoming we get them wandering through our front yard fairly often. Two, little known facts about pronghorn (aka "speedgoats"): 1) they squat to pee. 2) they usually will go under a barbed wire fence. You will see them approach a fence line, drop to their knees, and slide under the bottom wire. That is why sheep tight fences with woven wire on the bottom are a hazard to antelope. That said, I have occasionally seen antelope jump a fence. At speed they can hit about 55 mph.

[@Ivan-i9x7u]

10 years ago, i use to see herd 50-150. Now i see maybe a group of 5. And i see them less often.

[@nmelkhunter1]

Where at?

I’ve seen them in every state you mentioned.

[@markrouse2416]

You will see them 2 to 3 in a group standing at a barbwire fence watching the cars go by in Wyoming.

I’ve seen several pronghorn out here in utah most notably in Goblin Valley State Park!

[@douglasmcneil8413]

The population of pronghorns in Arizona has greatly diminished in the last 70 years, mostly caused from heavy poaching by residents in the less populated areas of the eastern and northern parts of the state.

I hope they reintroduce Pronghorns to Minnesota. Every once in a rare while one or two will be seen from the Dakotas but it’s rare.

Pronghorn that feed on rancher's alfalfa fields in Wyoming are prized eating. I hope to draw a tag again this year and put one in my freezer. Deeee-licious!

There's not enough people hunting antelope either and they can overpopulate. Some winter here there's going to be deep snow and a big die off.

[@rustyknott-W.D]

I've lived in the forest of northern AZ all my life. It used to be you'd only see them out on the prairies but now they're fairly common up here in the trees. Some years ago the Forest Service started requiring barbed wire fences on public lands to have a smooth wire 14" above the ground to facilitate antelope migration as they won't jump a fence but they will crawl under one.

[@afader6898]

[@indyreno2933]

Lions, buffalo, and antelope are all found only in both Africa and Asia, therefore it is actually misleadingly incorrect to call a puma a mountain lion, misleadingly incorrect to call a bison a buffalo, and misleadingly incorrect to call a pronghorn an antelope, the Puma (Puma concolor) is actually more closely related to cheetahs (genus Acinonyx) and the jaguarundi (Herpailurus yagouaroundi), bison (genus Bison) are a genus of true cattle (subtribe Bovina) with the closest living relative of both the European Bison (Bison bonasus) and the American Bison (Bison bison) being the Yak (Poephagus grunniens), while buffalo are an entirely distinct subtribe (Bubalina) from the true cattle (subtribe Bovina), and the word "antelope" refers correctly and exclusively to the taxa Tetracerus, Tragelaphini, Hippotraginae, Peleinae, Reduncinae, Antilopinae, Cephalophinae, and Neotraginae of the family Bovidae, while the Pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) is the sole extant member of a separate family known as Antilocapridae, which is actually more closely related to giraffids than to bovids, making the giraffes (genus Giraffa), Okapi (Okapia johnstoni), and Pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) the only extant members of the broader superfamily Giraffoidea.
