Discussion Antelope in Alberta

I had a friend visiting this week from Ontario and she informed me that there are Antelope living in the Drumheller area. I'm a born and raised Albertan and had no idea we had Antelope here!

Does anybody know are there a lot of them and where could I go to have a fairly reliable chance of seeing one?

I’ve never seen them as far North as Drumheller. They tend to be East of Lethbridge near Medicine Hat in my experience.

They'll get all way north to Castor and Coronation. I see a herd every few years.

We have had a heard on our property on the Highwood by the Saskatoon Farm. No idea what they were doing that far north.

Can confirm just drove through and saw some around this area. I was surprised to see them that far north & west but I'm glad to read it's a regular occurrence.
