Definitely not October 2022. But still very awesome video. That was taken between Mule Creek Junction and Edgemont SD. I’m not sure what year but definitely not this year.

I've never seen anything like that before. Pretty impressive!

For all their speed, "goats" seldom jump barbed wire fences. They will crawl underneath them, especially in dips of the land where their is more than typical space between the ground and the bottom strand of wire.

Antelope hate woven wire fences because unless there are actual holes in it, they can't get out of that pasture. There have been times in rough winters, at least in western SD, where a herd of goats gets into a woven wire fenced pasture, usually after a blizzard where they can walk over snow drifts, and then can't get out it later on. Bad news if the blizzard is early and the winter is long. Not unusual to find dozens of dead antelope come spring in such a pasture. The great white wolf can still prowl the short-grass prairie of the northern Great Plains any given year.

Pronghorn antelope can and will jump fences, they prefer to go under though in many areas.
I played the go under game with some in NM one year hunting, they jumped the fence like a deer and never slowed down.

Woven wire will kill them though in winter like stated.
Some herds migrate for many miles over winter.

I Love Hunting them ...I have 10 preference points for them in Wyoming

Just waiting on a year I can go and an Exceptional Trophy location

How big do Winter herds of antelope get?

Yup, a friend sent it to me last winter

Wow ! The 70 mph sign is interesting, that’s kind of a nasty looking curve.

WOW,,thats crazy! How are they for eating?

Thousands.

We really like antelope, my wife and I each killed one this weekend, nice to have meat for the freezer.

Beautiful animals. That snowy prairie looks like tundra.

They do have a certain smell, I think it sort of smells like sage, that put some people off but that smell doesn't get transferred to the meat unless you really screw things up (like leaving them out in the sun and/or warmth too long). My mother and my wife, neither big wild game eaters, both said that pronghorn tastes better than most deer.

Another thing to remember is that pronghorn are smaller than most deer (or at least deer around here). A really big buck might go 120 pounds live weight. Most "goats" will go in the 80 pound range.

Yeah, 30/06, the tundra and the short-grass prairie look a lot of like from a distance, the short-grass is "warm and dry" and the tundra "cold and dry" if using an annual average temp as a measure. The short-grass doesn't have lichens or moss as part of the land cover.
