Of the 100 ANTILOPE captured 99 were released. Hope the someday get established, and eventually are in huntable numbers, it would be great to harvest one in Wa.

Nice to have lope here in WA finally BUT, why on the rez(because there protected more,FOR NOW). Why not split and transplant some for us non-native people to enjoy later in the future. My kids would love to take pictures and look at them if they were here just like many other people here?
They're not going to stay on the reservation, not all of them anyway.

Most, if not all, of the previous release have left the rez. Stuff the kids in the truck and head over and go find them. There out there.

My folks saw a little bunch off of 397 last week. Not even close to reservation.

397? or 395? i live right off of 397 and was wondering when they would make it here, i've seen them within 7-10 miles of my place last year.

SCI had a big hand in helping fund and organize this project too. :twocents:

That's true. I believe all the Yakamas provided was a place to release the antelope.

Yup, 397. I didn't ask exactly where, south of the river somewhere. Pretty neat.

I was once attacked by a herd of cantaloupe. When they travel in herds, as stated above, they can be extremely dangerous. I'll never forget that sickening sweet smell and the sugary juice. Ewwww, gives me the willies just remembering it.

So if they were released by the tribe(s), that would make them a non-native species, not a game animal right? So if you see one off the rez you can bag it with no tag or license? :dunno:They are a big game animal. RCW 77.08.030.

They are a native species of this area dating back hundreds of years and they were slowly unable to sustain life here any longer. Just as the Mt. Goats, Bighorns and now they've all been RE-INTRODUCED BACK to this area. There is historical documents showing them thriving here well over hundreds of years ago and the Yakama Nation has been trying to RE-INTRODUCE them here again but had always fallen short due to funding (in steps SCI and a partnership is formed).

Due to weather in Nevada so far there has not been an additional release this year. It has been rescheduled for Feb. 18th, 2012 if the weather cooperates . There has been very little snow down there so they are spread out, making it almost impossible to do a capture. Also the weather needs to be cold so they do not over heat durning the capture and transporting. More than likely if it does not happen this date it will be rescheduled for next year and we were trying to bring in 150 this time.
Thanks for the update, hope it works out next year, this is a great project.

The tribal bio's were at our event on Saturday and gave a full update on the antelope. Things are looking good. Sure would have been nice to supplement the existing herd. Need to keep concentrating on coyote harvesting to keep this working. Of coarse they need money and our good ole WDFW hasn't kicked any into the pot yet. So go out and get your moneys worth out of those expensive licenses and shoot some coyotes.
This is so very true. Numerous times I have watched a group of 2 or 3 coyotes work an antelope herd. One coyote will run the group in circles while the other coyotes sit waiting for the antelope to pass too closely, then they grab whichever one they can. When one coyote gets tired of chasing he drops out and another coyote chases for a while. Coyotes eat a lot of antelope.
