The can jump quite well but most up this way prefer to go under fences. Strangest thing to me was watching pronghorn jump the fences in NM on an antelope hunt, surprised me they just went right over like deer. Can't say I've seen one jump a fence up here. Sheep wire is responsible for many deaths in winter.
Pronghorn also are herd animals and yard up in huge herds for winter and migrate quite a ways in some areas. Deep snow is not their friend.
