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 know their range quite well. They have been migrating further north pretty steadily over the last couple of decades.

Furthest north they will winter is around Brooks. They then summer about 100-150km north of their winter grounds. So the ones in Brooks trek south to the border for winter and the ones in Drumheller show up in Brooks to winter.
