Ok, lived hear for 44 years and have seen a lot of deer plus many other wonderful animals but today, "an Antelope". Yep, my wife and I have been to other states and know an Antelope when we see one. Don't carry a digital, waterproof camera and don't own a Cell phone, sooooo, no pictures. Had an interesting black collar attached and was by itself. Used to see them fishing the Madison in MT until that river went to hell. Watching an Antelope "in flight" is truly magnificent but what are they doing in the Okanogan?????

I think the Yakima tribe stocked some.

There are a lot of them here in NEO, seems like they should be in that country too.

The Madison went to hell? Who knew?

The 'Lopers that the Yakima Tribe introduced have spread east quite a ways - I've seen them occasionally in the Horse Heavens around here.

Where in the Okanogan? Like b_illy said, the Colvilles reintroduced close to 100 on their reservation over the past two winters. Some have roamed south across the Columbia into Douglas County, some are still on the reservation, some have died. And at least a few have had antelope fawns and hopefully their numbers will soon be ticking up.

Seen some in Oregon as well as a few in CA down by Kettleman City off I-5, on the drive to Paso Robles. They're out there!

Check this out if you are interested in the history of antelope and other current/historic mammals of the U.S. "plains". I am reading it now and it is very interesting. Dan Flores book on Coyotes is next, they are pretty amazing animals.

They dropped them off up above Omak lake and they scattered all over since then.
