A recent four-year study on pronghorns in Montana has been published, providing valuable information on their seasonal migrations, barriers to those migrations, and strategies to remove obstacles.
The study, titled “Montana Pronghorn Movement and Population Ecology,” delved into forage, migration patterns, fencing barriers, and survival rates of 700 female pronghorns. Over 10 million location data points were collected from GPS collars tracking the animals’ movements.
Jesse DeVoe, a research biologist at the Department of Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP), and the lead author of the study, highlighted the importance of understanding the movements and challenges faced by pronghorns in Montana’s landscapes.
