I was shooting a male pronghorn in the Little America region of Yellowstone as it beat up a sage bush, when it turned to look back and started huffing and puffing.  Following it's gaze, I saw this second male racing across grassland.  As I followed the newcomer trying for some action shots, the first male took off, running hard.  Both of them went over a hill so I couldn't get any shots of both in motion.  I did get lucky and get some good views of the first runner in motion.  Here he is with his legs gathered under.  (7D2, 100-400 f4 IS II, 1/1600s, f/10, iso 800, tripod with head somewhat loose)

Wonderful capturedevil

This is really great Mark.  It is tough to get the focus right in the seconds you have to get the shot and you nailed this one.  Great action shot.
