Coming home a wiser man, with meat too!
Without a doubt. When they want to leave somewhere, they get gone in a hurry. They cover ground faster than anything I've ever seen.Daddy went on an elk hunt in Wyoming in the early 90s..... the locals said an antelope was just a goat with a racing rear end. He said their speed was unbelievable when they were stretched out.

Not a huge fan of silhouette stalking on public land. We did try the white hat trick though and it worked remarkably well on one of the shots I missed.Good job for your first go at it.
Next year take yo a cardboard silhouette of a pronghorn to hold in front of you while you stalk.
You will be surprised at how that works.
The spot from which I shot my buck
Me with the product of 1800 miles driving and 25 miles hiking:
And when 30 or 40 of them run at full tilt less than 200 yards from you, you stare in awe.They can hit top speeds of 55-60mph. They can maintain 35mph for 20 miles! They are second only to the Cheetah.
