Pronghorn do not respond to baiting to lure them away from roads,” the social media post adds. ” So until the snow melts, CPW asks landowners to plow snow from fields to give them large spaces to shelter off the roads. Meanwhile, CPW officers are monitoring herds to protect them and removing carcasses.”

CPW didn’t share a timeline on when they started keeping count of the pronghorn killed, but a video shared tied to a recent snowstorm shows about a dozen carcasses on and near a road.
