A still from a GoPro camera mounted in a helicopter shows a band of pronghorn running across western Nebraska rangeland. Earlier this year, researchers captured 80 pronghorn and placed GPS radio collars on them. The released pronghorn will be tracked over two years to provide fine-scale information about their survival and movement across the Nebraska Panhandle and anywhere else they roam.
