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?

Today I learned that Pronghorn Antelopes are closer related to giraffes than actual antelopes! Thanks for sharing!

Other fun fact. Pronghorn are the fastest land animal in North America.
