Didn’t expect this…

I know these guys have some crazy long migration routes but this caught me off guard. 8000’ in the Idaho wilderness was not where I expected to see a speed goat. It’s quite a ways from their typical habitat.

Clearly he identifies as an Elk , how dare you assume his species ?

I've always wanted to follow some of the Jackon Hole pronghorn as they make their way into Sublette County just to see them in funny places like this. I hope that buck finds his summer home!

I have a feeling he’ll be alright.

No wonder I can't ever find em. Haha. That's crazy.

Has he transitioned?

We have mountian antelope here in Ca, more specifically, Northern Ca.

That’s a cool surprise. I’ve seen them around 10k feet in Colorado but not in the timber.

Very cool!

2 years ago we vacationed in Duck Creek Village in the Dixe NF of southern Utah. Rented a SxS one day and while we were riding trails, 2 different times we saw a lone pronghorn up there. 8000+ft. Timber both times It certainly caught me off guard.

Here are a couple that spent the summer at 10k feet in Colorado. They were on camera through the start of rifle antelope in October. 2k vert feet to hike up there from the parking lot. I would love to kill one up there one day

I see them in the mountains all the time here in Wyoming

This made me laugh, my son and I saw one just over 8k feet in an Idaho wilderness last week. The area was heavily timbered and I saw a flash and told my son to look at how fast that “deer” just took off running. When it broke out into another opening we saw it was an antelope. First time we have seen them in this region.

There’s some areas like that in Colorado, definitely odd and kinda cool too because they look exotic in that habitat
