Cut To The Quick
I came across this male and a few of his females at the end of the day at the north entrance. They were browsing in the meadows near the side of the road, a location I’ve seen pronghorn a number of times. The male had some strange rectagular patches of missing fur on his right side, which reminded me of the shaved patch our cat Templeton got when he went in for surgery. You can see the edge of one of the patches in the lower left corner of the picture.

Morning on the Blacktail Road
I've driven Blacktail Plateau Drive, a one-way gravel road on the way between Mammoth Hot Springs and Tower-Roosevelt, a number of times on my visits to Yellowstone. The first time was one of the best, when I came across a couple of cubs high in the trees who slid down when their mother called them. This morning wasn't too bad either, as a lone male pronghorn was resting in the grass in the early morning. The gate at the entrance has usually been locked at sunrise when I've been there that early, which is unfortunate.
