“pronghorn”

In southern Alberta, good wildlife management, productive habitat and strong genetics combine to create a sizable number of good-to-excellent pronghorn bucks.

If you're a big-game hunter that dreams of taking a bull elk, mule deer or pronghorn out West, the time to start planning is now.

Easy to apply to boots, guns, tree stands or any other piece of gear, the Nose Jammer Rub On Wax Stick is designed to overwhelm the senses of big game like elk, whitetail, pronghorn, hogs and coyotes.

The .240 Weatherby Magnum is the fastest 6mm on the commercial market, exceeding the muzzle velocity of the .243 Win. and 6mm Rem. by 300 fps. If you’re the hunter who likes obscure cartridges, the .240 Wby. Mag. is a great choice for deer, pronghorn and similar-sized game.

On the wide-open Western plains pronghorn antelope, the second-fastest land animals on Earth, use distance as a buffer from danger. It’s wise to admit a truck is best used to locate herds. But reality is boots will need to hit the ground to close the deal.

Here's a great way to enjoy your next deer or pronghorn.

Faced with back-to-back hunts this past fall—the first in pursuit of pronghorn on the rolling prairie outside Casper, Wyo., the second combing the rugged Idaho mountains for mule deer—I knew I would need a balance between wide field of view, detailed clarity and precise ranging capabilities. Luckily for me, a pair of Leupold’s BX-5 Santiam HD 10x42mm binoculars and an RX-2800 TBR/W rangefinder were on hand, ready to be put to the test.

Okay, here’s a “too long, didn’t read” option for you: I like this binocular. No, I love this binocular. After testing the SIG ZULU6 on two pronghorn hunts and over the course of an entire season looking for blacktail deer in Oregon’s coastal range, I’ve concluded that I’m not glassing or hunting without it until something better comes along.

The pursuit of North America’s most unique big game requires an equally unique plan of attack.
