Pronghorn Antelope Buck

When I headed for the American west in the fall 1998, I hoped to see and photograph pronghorns. While I appreciate they are common enough, I had never seen one before. I was also excited in that this was the first trip for the new "big" lens, the 800mm f/5.6. While I was taking pictures of some does this little fellow approached me from behind. I had not been aware of his presence. He was already very close to me and came even closer . . . too close actually, as I was not able to keep his entire head and antlers in the frame.
