Oregon pronghorns

[Guy]

Was out in Eastern Oregon camping, hiking around and on my motorcycle last week. Came across several pronghorns:







Snowed on me too. Snow and motorcycles are not my favorite combination... All in all though, a good trip!

Nice lopes, where at in Eastern Oregon where you?

the first few look like young bucks; good to see they are surviving. Th e last one looks to be a definate shooter in my book.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks guys - I wandered around a whole lot of Eastern Oregon. The pronghorn photos were at Hart Mountain, at the pronghorn refuge. Great country if a fellow likes rock & brush. I do.

New Bike Guy?

Yup. The Triumph was very, very cool, but the Suzuki is much better at this long haul stuff - particularly out in the boonies which is where I seem to end up.

I'll always miss the cool looks and sound of the Triumph though. No doubt. It was a modern classic. The Suzuki is pretty much a Swiss Army knife of motorcycles. Does everything pretty well, but not very "cool." I like it a LOT better for this kind of stuff though. Danged thing goes a long way on a tank of fuel. Couple of times I pushed it to 250 miles without filling up. Was in a sweat for fuel every time the Triumph hit 125 miles...

Nice bike x3

It's a shame about hart mountain. I wish they would have some common sense and do a little predator management. Fawn survival rate is very low with the yote population.

There is a bunch of them on the Umatilla Chemical Depot land.  Very large herd in fact.

Is this something hunters can do something about? Legal with an Oregon license to go do some coyote calling? I saw a couple of big 'yotes while in Oregon... Brazen too - out in broad daylight. Are our Oregon hunting brothers giving them too much of a free pass? I like whacking the occasional coyote...

Very nice. I spent some time chasing big horns around on hart mountain several years ago. The antelope were rutting and were cool to watch. It amazed me to see haw far a dominant buck chased the smaller bucks away. It seemed like miles!
