A dominant pronghorn buck watches over his harem near the Gardiner entrance to Yellowstone National Park. It was a lot of fun to see this harem on a daily basis while coming into the park, and this buck seemed to take pretty good care of them. While the females happily fed fairly close to the road, he only occasionally come close to the group of onlookers, and he usually didn't stay close for long. He was quite a handsome buck though, and hopefully he was able to defend his harem during the upcoming rut.

That is a handsome fellow indeed. I was able to get some picures too of pronghorns but no one struck a pose like yours did. You must be the pronghorn whisperer.

Nice image Pat. I got there shortly after you left and he was there with his harem for the two weeks I was there. He must be the most photographed pronghorn there is.
