Big Game Hunting Guide

Antelope Hunting

The pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) is North America's swiftest land mammal and one of the fastest in the world. Its speed, endurance and keen eyesight are well adapted to the short-grass prairies and gumbo badland of the western United States. Although commonly called an antelope, the pronghorn technically is not an antelope but the sole species in a family found only in North America.

Pronghorn hunting is one of Nebraska's most challenging big game experiences. Animals can be glassed and horn size determined at great distances.
