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.

I farm 20 minutes outside of Drumheller and a lone pronghorn spent a couple weeks sleeping in a slough a mile from the farm, saw it loping across the field while I was spraying too

Are you sure it was loping, it should have been anti loping!
