Default History of Antelope in Peace River
Reading the threads on antelope here reminded me of a neighbour in Athabasca saying his dad said they used to have antelope on their land in WMU 510 when forest fires used to burn more freely.
So I did a brief Google search just now and found this.
Looks they used to be in the Peace River area long ago.
Thought it'd be cool to share.

Saw a couple near Olds and neighbors claim there was one as far west as Harmattan at one time.

A few years ago while on a trip east saw a small herd of four near Innisfree.

Default Goats
Speed Goats have been sighted between Airdrie and Carstairs the last month or so.

We had one living in the Bearspaw/Madden area a few years in the 90's.
