Meet Hornet (P353) —a pronghorn on the go. Captured near the Saskatchewan border in December, she spent the entire winter on the move—crossing the Buffalo Trail, heading north past Bain, and even venturing into the U.S. She didn’t settle once… until spring. After travelling nearly 400 km, Hornet finally found her place near Cressday—her movements slowing as the season changed. From constant motion to a place to call home. Link in bio.
