No problem with the Antelope on the Suffield Block.
The area is the historical wintering grounds for virtually every Antelope in Alberta. They show up through the Fall then migrate back out again to disperse throughout their range again come Spring.
Some of them cover impressive distances to get to and from the region every year.
It is critical habitat for them to over winter in/on.
