Default Antelope in 242 normal?

Found an Antelope in WMU 242 in the Kingman area last week. Do they normally range that far north or was this fella an anomaly?

Sometimes they wander...I have seen them by Ponoka and on airport road just out of Nisku.

No it's not normal

Relatively normal. I've seen a number of 'lopes travelling from Edmonton to Lloydminster.

There were a couple by ft sask last year. I never got a picture of them but did see them, if I remember correctly someone here posted a pic of them. Seen a few by Camrose over the years as well, so they definitely wander.

I saw one near Josephburg (Fort Saskatchewan area) last summer. I sent the pics to F&W, and a biologist got back to me saying that it is definitely abnormal for them to be that far north, but not unheard of.

Now if only they'd stay together and grow the numbers to the point they'd have to expand their range
Cool pics!

I find the #'s of Antelope have increased around Killam quite a bit in the last 5 years.
