Ed67 Report post Posted August 20, 2019 EB I-8 yesterday I’m 90% sure I saw a dead female antelope on the left about 25 miles west of Gila Bend? Very odd and I was driving fast but pretty sure I saw what I saw. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heat Report post Posted August 20, 2019 Sonoran pronghorn perhaps? They are found south of I-8 between Gila Bend and Yuma. A herd of Sonoran pronghorn has also been established on Kofa NWR/YPG in King Valley. Who knows where that one wondered over from. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jim Report post Posted August 20, 2019 I have seen lopes between quartzite and yuma several times and they even have signs on the road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brooktrout26 Report post Posted August 20, 2019 There is a pocket of lopes that hang out North of Dateland. I've seen pics pretty recently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brademan76 Report post Posted August 20, 2019 Not a pronghorn. It's a doe or fawn mule deer. It was 1 or 2 miles west of the rest stop in that area. I kept my eyes peeled the next 15 miles but didnt see any lope. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azbow Report post Posted August 22, 2019 Tue morning heading west on I-8 on the right side, less than a half mile from the Yuma county line, looked to be a dead mule deer doe. Was very orange colored and just got a glimpse as we went by. Very dry ugly stretch where there is barely even scrubby creosote. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brademan76 Report post Posted August 22, 2019 I saw that doe as well. I was surprised there were two dead doe in such a close area on each side of the interstate both killed at a similar time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
