I agree with your observation, that area and many more like it are sadly void of Pronghorns.

When a person goes Pronghorn hunting, you don't just drive anyplace in the south, you drive to those few remaining larger pockets of grazing land and natural prairie.
Yes, they can be found in cropland, usually adjacent to natural areas, sometimes because they are migrating to another grassland area.

It was recognized decades ago that the true limiting factor in Alberta for Pronghorn populations and area of greatest concern was Habitat and Habitat Loss.

With the continued expansion of agriculture, needed for the expanding human population and desire for greater wealth, this situation has only gotten worse. Farmers, Ranchers and Citiots are all equally to blame, along with our governing bodies.
100% agree.
