I saw that.  Didn’t know if the release on the Colville was independent or in conjunction with the Yakama.  It’s really amazing how far the speed goats have traveled from their release points. Kennewick to Glenwood.

Yes this project is with the Yakama Nation. 2 years ago we brought back 50 more to supplement the 98 that we previously brought in. Of these 50, we put collars on 30 of them that give us locations 3 times a day so we know where they are. It also informed us of 8 mortalities of the 30 collars. We will eventually catch or discover what has happened to them. Collars have been recovered.
We have also posted a reward of up to $5000 for any that are poached.
Currently most of the lopes have gone back onto the Rez. and have not joined up with existing groups from the first transplant as we had hoped.
We plan to put 30+ collars on the new releases also.
We also will be working with WDFW the second week of Feb. to fly a grid survey of the area and have ground crews on existing groups to make sure they are not missed. This cost is being paid for by WDFW as they  actually now have an antelope budget. Thank you Rich Harris.(WDFW)
They however can only survey off the Rez. However Dave has been great to work with also and keeps us informed of what is or on the Rez.

Relocation of an additional 52 antelope has taken place. Monday there were 24 released and Tuesday we released an additional 28. Thanks again to the efforts of the Yakama Nation all of their volunteers they sent down, Seattle Puget Sound Chapter of SCI and Shikars $$$ and volunteers, we have completed what we hope to be a successful effort.
We have planned a survey to take place on and off the rez in approximately two week to attempt to get another count on what we have. The additional collars we put out hopefully help out.

We also owe a great thanks to Nevada Department of Wildlife also on this project as it would not have happened with out them. They have been great to work with and we at SCI have additional plans to help them out on some of their projects.
Hopefully some of you come to our banquet on Feb 23, in Lynnwood to help us raise money for these projects. If nothing else you can watch the protesters show up attempting to get us boycotted. Amazing what those AR's don't realize... what us wildlife organizations can and do accomplish.

So did they get released on the rez and they will just go where they go?

How does the deal with Nevada work?  Is there money that changes hands or do we have to send them some wildlife in exchange?
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

One member on here I think saw a doe with two fawns this year.  Can't remember if there was a photo on here or not.

Several fawns running around.

@hunting4sanity took these photos.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

The size of the original herd grew before additional transplants were made.
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.
