Antelope survey
Brushcrawler:
Thanks for the information and the work on this project. Maybe someday they will take hold to the point they can be a growing population.

I'm not sure why Con NW was mentioned since they didn't (and don't) have a frickin' thing to do with the reintroduction efforts. For that matter, neither did WDFW!!!
Here's a video of what actually happened. SCI, Nevada, and the Yakima tribe were the instrumental parties.

Well there seems to be two parallel reintroduction efforts- one by the Yakama Nation and the other by the CCT. Whereas the Yakama worked closely with SCI on reintroduction, it's not explicitly clear what the overlap/engagement of the CCT and Con NW is (or is not).
Might be worth asking the CCT? might be quiet funding it, monitoring, working with the Tribal NR staff, etc.
At the end of the day, these are both TRIBAL releases because no one else (ie SCI or Con NW) can bring wildlife into the state for such an effort without a Tribe or the WDFW. Who supports them and how credit gets shared is their business really

Agreed. The reintroduction had to be facilitated by the tribes since WDFW was originally adamantly against bringing pronghorn back to Washington. CCT used some shared information from SCI and Nevada, but they did their reintroductions autonomously.
In my opinion they have some of the best wildlife biologists in the state.

Saw a decent buck this last spring on the Colville Rez. Cool to see them around.
