This week on Sheep Fever we visit with Eric Dippold, Secretary for the newly formed North American Pronghorn Foundation.

A uniquely North American goat species often referred to as being in the antelope family, the pronghorn is a cherished big game species by sportsmen from around the world and an out-the-window wildlife viewing favorite of travelers indicating they are now "out west."

As celebrated as they are, there has never been an organization dedicated to their future, until now, and their timing couldn't be better. Every year in one area or another where pronghorn range, we hear of one population challenge or another. Mostly its losses over an extreme winter. As tough as these deaths are to witness, weather events are often viewed as out of our hands, or are they? Are antelope loosing critical habitat? Yes. Could their historical migration corridors be less obstructed? Yes. Are too many predators an issue? Yes.

This sums up the mission of this new organization of which WSF is in full partnership-mode support.
