Antelope Reintroduction to Washington
« on: January 16, 2011, 12:27:49 PM »
 For those of you that are interested History was made last night at 10:45 pm Jan. 15, 2011 with the release of 100+ antelope into the state of Washington. The antelope came from Nevada with full cooperation from their Game Dept. working with one of our Tribal Nations and funded through one of our Non profit organizations. It was a very ceremonious event that all of us resident will benefit from in the future.

Watch out!  My research shows the speed goats are very susceptible to blue tongue (EHD) so you can just expect 'management' to help the pronghorn, read less hunting, more control of private land and legal entanglements as we now see with any 'endangered' species.  Nothing against pronghorns, amazing, adapted, beautiful speedster, just gun shy of the Washington state way.

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Good deal, I hope they take hold.

Nice. That'll add about 6 more pages of regulations to gamebook. It's gonna look like a phone book 10 years from now. We're going to have to hire attorneys just to know what is legal when/where. And I'll bet hunting access will continue to get much worse by the time there actually is a huntable population. I'm with NWWanderer, I don't have much faith in the washington way. They're already talking about combining dnr and wdfw, what's with taking on more costly programs? But that's liberal ideaology I guess. Threatening vital services cuts meanwhile pork-barrelling more elobarate projects and wanting more money. Antelope would be cool but is the timing ideal????

If I can show my Wyoming-born son antelope in Washington, I will be pleased.

As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Hopefully this isnt the only transplant, 100 is fantastic, but it can't hurt to increase those odds

Glad they got the ball rolling on this!
