This species is the most conspicuous (and possibly the most abundant)

ungulate in Harding County. It ranges throughout the county on flat and

rolling grasslands where small groups, and occasionally herds of up to

50 individuals, were seen in 1960, 1961, 1963, 1968, and 1970. Visher

(1914:88) reported that the pronghorn was common in the area until about

1900, but that it was near the point of extinction when he visited the

county in 1910 and 1912.
