NAPF volunteers helped NDOW translocate some pronghorn to a couple of different areas in Nevada to help those herds out. Our president Brock made the trip out and did hands on work to help out. Greatly appreciated and good to see him again

@MaddH you slipped out without saying good bye and you missed out on the group photo! But I appreciate you showing up at 4am on your only free weekend. Means a lot to have you there and it was great to see you.
It was an amazing weekend of mugging and slinging pronghorn! After almost 2 years of NAPF it sure felt special to put my hands on live pronghorn and work with them up close and personal. I continue to marinate in disbelief at how lucky I am to participate in this stuff on behalf of NAPF and for the support NAPF receives.
Incredibly grateful for the NDOW staff hosting the chaos that a bunch of volunteers brings with them on a project like this. None of this happens without them, they’re great people all around and dedicated to Nevadas wildlife. Kuiu and Grand Slam Club Ovis were conservation partners as well.
Some photos for the HT crowd.

I not very photogenic so the group pic probably turned out better without me
. It sure was a great weekend with the antelope. Next trip here I’ll introduce you to a local favorite- the famous Picon PunchThis looks awesome! It would be really cool to see these animals up close like that in addition to the valuable conservation work going on. Long shot I know, but if you guys ever have a project with a need for aviation support, shoot me a line- fixed and rotor wing guy with a bunch of backcountry experience who is also fascinated with Pronghorn and their conservation story.
Thanks again for doing this!
