Peninsular pronghorn
Are there any Nomads that know the current project status of the peninsular pronghorn near Bahia Asuncion? Are they still captive breeding the
pronghorn? Any pronghorn surviving in the wild?

Yesterday I had a great tour of the peninsular pronghorn project near Guerro Negro. I met biologists Victor and Fernando at the CONANP office and
they took me out to the project. Since I've been working on the sonoran pronghorn recovery project this was a great opportunity to compare notes and
learn new techniques. It's fawning season and the peninsular pronghorn have new fawns. I'll post photos when I get back to AZ. If you're in the area
take a tour...

good for you...there are 2 different camps now where the pronghorn are thriving and some are being released into the wild...you can get a tour out of
Gn from Los Caracoles or Mario's or Las Cazuelas...lucky you to have seen the new fawns!!!! Look forward to the pictures.

Beautiful creatures that I hope multiply like rabbits in Australia. 
From some recent reading, am I correct in assuming that the antelope herd now numbers around 200?
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Sounds about right for the 'captive' herds from what I was told. The herd at GN has 16 new fawns. Victor said there are also about 50 in the wild. I'm
unsure if he meant just around Guerrero Negro or in total between all the areas.

I look forward to your photos!
Here are a couple of photos from a few years back of a pronghorn less than an hour old after it had been collected, and our friend Jamie Morales V
checking it out before it was transferred to the other reserve.
One word of warning in that area. We have some pictures we took right by the Vizcaino - Tortugas highway of a few escapes from the Guerrero Negro
reserve. They showed no fear of people or the highway. Jamie explained to us that the pronghorn associate pick up trucks with food and that is how
they deliver the food!
