Two Pronghorn Accidentally Shot

After two recent accidental pronghorn antelope deaths officials with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department are reminding anyone who is target shooting to pay attention to their target and what is beyond that target. Rawlins Game Wardens Brady Frude and Bill Brinegar investigated two accidental pronghorn antelope deaths, one at the Sinclair rifle range and one at the Rawlins Outdoor Gun Club. “If you are going to a range that is new to you look at your surroundings before you start target practice,” Brinegar said. “The two pronghorn were shot by non-residents who were not familiar with the local pronghorn that are accustomed to the sounds of gunshots. Look down range at your target and what is beyond that target before you do any shooting.”
