Watch for antelope!

Watch for antelope!
I.e., pronghorns. Warning sign on Nevada State Route 140 in the extreme northern part of the state. The pronghorn "antelope" have made a good recovery in this area in the latter part of the 20th century, after having been hunted nearly to extinction. We never used to see them out in these Nevada valleys when I was a kid. Sometimes there is progress! Location is approximate. Sorry about the lighting--yes, it was into the sun!

WOOT!! I'd love to be in an area that required that sign! I am hoping to see one some day, cross your fingers. :) Happy to learn that these guys are recovering in the area. :)

I'll bet you'd see some in eastern Oregon! They do not like forests or hilly country; they like to be out in the open flats where they can see. The Nevada Dept of Wildlife has had a program for a number of years of re-introducing them into their historic range, and I'm sure other states have similar programs.

I like that this is backlit, somehow it adds drama. The shadow in the foreground is great!
