I haven't seen many for quite awhile but a week or two ago I saw a group of 15 or so in the Horse Heaven Hills, only a couple miles outside of Prosser.

they must be fleeing the wolves  :dunno:  Really though, are they just not surviving in the habitat or poachers or just dispersing?  :dunno:

they have seen them in from goldendale to kennewick, seem to pop up in roosevelt from time to time.
they wont stay on the res due to over population of horses causing no feed and the horses just pushed them out.

Good to hear that there are some young ones being spotted....to bad about the poached one, hope the judge makes the poacher realize it was a bad idea to kill one.

I think they have yet to arrest anyone for that poaching.

Unfortunately the legislature has yet to enact a law which includes mandatory civil penalties for antelope poaching like are currently on the books for other big game animals.

Crappy pic with my cell phone of the scratched up screen of my camera I took today in the fog.   Biggest group I've seen.

Dumped like poached and dumped? Road kill?
Buck or doe?

Not sure the sex, it was head down in the ice, but definitely dumped in that spot a ways off the road and behind a fence, just like all the elk, deer, horses, and cows I find. Why do you ask?

A good friend is closely involved with the pronghorn project. I pass as much info onto him as I can get. Thanks.

Yes, SCI have offered rewards to anyone whom can get us a conviction on any antelope that are poached. The last thing we need are individual poaching them. When we did the counts last winter we did find one that had been hit by a car and also knew that one had been poached by Kennewick.

I really wish they could do another transplant soon.
Title: Re: Washington Antelope
Post by: wa.hunter on December 18, 2015, 07:18:52 AM
More than likely the next transplant will occur on the Colville Nation Lands. Thank them and the Yakama's for their work on this. Hopefully the Spokane's will also jump on board.
