Antelope in Washington

[flyguide]

I decided to post this in the deer forum, as the argument started involving deer.  So a couple of buddies and I are driving on Hwy 97 between Goldendale and Toppenish and one of them looks over while we are driving 65 mph and says.... deer.  The guy (non hunter) in back says NO ANTELOPE.  They start arguing while I am driving and calling each other names.  It was pretty funny.  We get about 2 miles up the road and these guys are now betting dinner over whether or not they are Antelope so I turn the car around and I'm thinking... "this is going to be embarassing, what an idiot. Antelope?"  How stupid can he be. (he had been arguing adamantly in favor Antelope).

I drive back and sure enough there is a buck and doe Antelope about 150 yards off the highway!  They were on the Indian Reservation so i assume the Indians put them out there.  Very cool.  Here are some pics, maybe this is old news to some of you but I live in Eastern Washington and I had no idea.

I was hoping to see some on my last trip over the hill to the valley. No such luck on the last trip. I have seen them a few times. They are starting to get spread out pretty good. Keep dumping them out!!!

There have been 9 on the hill behind my house all winter but now there are only 3 with no babies... No idea what happened to them. Your guess is as good as mine... And yes they are cool to see...
