DEFENDING the SWEET SIXTEEN

September, Pronghorn mating season.
Days are spent gathering and defending harems.
This dominant buck drives a potential rival away from his harem of 16.
Yes, 16.
Talk about a target on his rump.

Exciting to watch animals that can run 60 mph,
Chase each other across the prairie,
In the “race for the harem”
