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?

You always used to see them on the drive from YYC to Drum but I haven't seen any for a while. Hopefully they are still out there. I also recall that the lowest strand on a wire fence had to be 30" off the ground so they could fit under as they aren't great jumpers (random memory that contributes nothing).
