Title: Saw my first Washington antelope
Post by: Birdguy on November 12, 2018, 04:51:43 PM: Saw my first antelope today dead on the side of the road. Just north of Orondo on the shoulder of north bound 97. I would have never thought would be the place to see my first. Looked to be a healthy doe. Saw a dead young cougar just a few miles further up the road too. Kind of an odd drive today. Anyone seen antelope in that area?

Yeah, I just assumed it was a fawn from it's size but I haven't seen an antelope up close since I was about 10. It could be a full grown doe for all I know.
