Fall is the season for male pronghorn's to gather up their females and try and mate with as many as possible. The male being chased was a newcomer to the group and was trying to woo some females away from the existing harem. As you can see by the tuft of white fur on the antler of the "chaser", he wasn't having it. The fight went on for about 15 minutes and the dominant male chased the lesser male over the hill away from his females. This image was shot in Wind Cave National Park, SD.
