An up close early morning shot on this massive buck.  Most pronghorns move away when approached but this big guy was in no hurry.

They really do have such unique horns, don't they. A fine portrait of this handsome buck Emil, and clicking on it is a must!

Unlike deer, I believe the horns are [font=sans-serif] [/font]keratinous and are hollow (correct me if I am wrong) and like other goat/antelope in North America (Mountain goats and Musk oxen) each represent a unique family.
