Pronghorn Photos

[buglinbilly]

I was born and raised in Wyoming and as a young kid became very fond of antelope. I moved from there many years ago and so I miss so much of what i once had and did.

But each year I go back to Wyoming with my camera and spend time in pronghorn country taking photos of them, their country and some of the other critters that share their habitat.

Here are few of the many thousand I took this summer and last fall. If anyone else takes pronghorn photos or photos of their country, please feel free to post them on this post.

I hope some of you pronghorn guys enjoy a few of these photos.

Hope I didn't do too many but that gives you little idea of antelope country. Most years I get a photo or two of coyotes but I did not see one single dog this year. I did hear a few howling in the distance.

Have a good one. BB

Billy every year I wait for your photos and as always they never disappoint. I as well am an antelope fan. I have no idea why but I would much rather watch a herd of antelope than a herd of deer or elk. I guess the only thing I've every seen that could rival the enjoyment of watching antelope is spring bucks, or black wildebeest but their difficult to find in Wyoming. Thanks again for making the winter go faster.

Always amazed with the quality photos you post. Gotta ask what kind of camera/lens setup you use if you don't mind.

LAST EDITED ON Jan-17-12 AT 08:24AM (MST)[p]Thanks for the nice compliments. I am just a beginner at this photography stuff, but i sure do love it. I wished I had started doing this when I was young. My strong suit is that over 50 years of bowhunting has taught me what I have to do to get close to critters.

I use two cameras most of the time. I use a Panasonic FZ-100 on some of my photos, but the most of the time I use my Olympus E-5 which it a top line DSLR. I also have use 4 or so different lenses with that camera depending upon the occasion.

If any of you like mule deer, here a link to some photos I posted a day or so ago here on MM.

BB-next time, if you can, post only about 5 or so pics at a time and you'll get more of an audience. It's taking my comp 2 minutes to load all the pics to the display.

Nice job BB. I always enjoy your photos.

 

[Ranger]

awesome photos BB, but those badger photos just reminded me of my child hood days of having to give the old shake and bake maneuver to evade them little rascals!

As always great closeup pics. Your pics help keep us going through the winter, thanks Billy. BTW those are the prettiest badgers I've ever seen. Ours in Ks. don't look that nice.
