Every pronghorn antelope that I've ever seen cross a fence, crawled under it. I've never seen them jump a fence. I've watched them go back and forth, along a fence, over and over again, until they find that spot to crawl under it.
This is our Nevada antelope. I have yet to see one jump a fence. My place is completely fenced and a lot of times I have several antelope on my property; I've watched them walk the fenceline to a certain spot and then just crawl through or under the fence.

I was watching videos of them crawling under fences. Pretty amazing that they are perfectly able to hop them, but instinct tells them to do something else.

It’s weird they won’t jump. I’ve seen whitetail deer casually walk up to a fence and just hop over like it’s a foot tall. Pretty grace-full to watch.
