Though pronghorn antelope are excellent runners, reaching speeds over 60 mph, they rarely jump fences. Long fence lines like this one near Medicine Hat, Alberta, represent a pinch point -- literally and figuratively -- in the species' migration. Some area ranchers plan a simple solution: making the lowest strand of wire smooth, not barbed, and keeping it 18 inches or more off the ground.
