I am not sure where you got your info JDB but I have first hand knowledge they are there.
I live next door to the ytc and have spent 100's of days out there. I am not saying its impossible for them to have evaded me but I'd bet some cash on there being no antelopes on ytc at this time. JB

I have always heard the rumor of them being out north east of Moses Lake. Never seen one myself though  :dunno:

There used to be some on the Colockum on the Vantage side back in the 60's and early 70's, They eventually died out.

I think they want to transplant them so that the military has some moving targets to shoot at. Those would be a tough critter to shoot out of a jet ;)

Is this the Yakima Res off of Hwy 97 going to Goldendale ?
There are a ton of wild or semi wild horses out there, not to mention the cattle.  I dont know what that will do to the feed available ?

sounds like alot of bad info here..there are currently no antelope in Washington...the Yakima Tribe may have released some this year...Safari Club  has been working with WDFW for 4 years now to get them introduced at three locations in this state the Feasability Study is complete and the SEPA process is been worked on..maybe in another year or 2.. there will be 30 released a each location and a additional 30 at each location with diferent genetic pools for the following 2 years...with alot of help with predator control..coyotes, it just might work. Safari Club has been funding this project and hopefully will continue to do so total expected cost $350,000.00 or so just so WE in 10 years or so might have an opportunity to hunt them...currently there are no tags of any kind...Just thought you all might like to know.

Good news wa.hunter, lets hope the farmers don't take them all out.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

There is a report available here: http://www.working4wildlife.com/Pronghorn_Antelope_Reintroduction.htm


It is called "ASSESSMENT OF PRONGHORN HABITAT POTENTIAL IN EASTERN WASHINGTON."   Click on the link that says "FinalReport" towards the top of the page.

 :IBCOOL: I think its a great idea, its not like they are an invasive species.
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

I think the discussion we had on here last year was more constructive.

 http://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php?PHPSESSID=76e7063befe697927542198743f3a52d&topic=3438.0;all

Within WDFW there is support for antelope reintroduction, and opposition.  Some key players are in support though.  It would not hurt to let them know your feelings and encourage the process to move forward.  I still think the public comment period will come soon, but a few people in the Dept. are dragging their feet.

huntnphool,  public vs private land was one of the main considerations in the habitat suitibility assessment and one of the main reasons the Quilomene, YFC etc... are considered more favorable.    

There sure are a lot of guys on here claiming to see antelope in Washington.  Anybody have any proof?

I'm not sure if I'm for the re-introduction or not. I would love to see antelope in this state but I just don't know if it's worth the cost, and I don't want to see other species negatively affected either. I would almost rather have the money spent on improving/protecting wildlife habitat, especially mule deer and/or elk winter range. Besides I can just see the new antelope herds being wiped out by the indians just as soon as they get established.
