I guess I should say I'm looking for a 170 mule deer and a 14 to 15-inch Antelope for my son will be different hunts

Maybe you’d like to wait and see what kind of winter we may or may not have, before asking such questions.

What is your problem Dick? How condescending of you.
118/ 102 is very worthwhile.

It would be my #1 concern when deciding on a pronghorn hunt.

Very good idea.
We didn’t see any super trophies in 102-118 this past season... big reason was the snow and hard winter last year.
My lope went 14”1/4.... I think that’s an average critter.
I’d wait two years....

102 was a disappointment for mule deer this year. I should have waited and done more research late spring and last minute before using my priority points.

I don’t think there is a good zone for antelope in AB right now.

I killed a very heavy 14-1/4" pronghorn in 2017, five minutes into the first day but it was the only 14" buck we saw in two days of scouting. There were plenty of bucks, but they tended to be smaller bucks.I have killed four bucks in that same community pasture over the years,. That being said, I would not even apply until after seeing what kind of winter we have.

It’s probably going to be at least 5 years before I get drawn again in Alberta. You can go to Montana and hunt on the reserves for about $150.

Hunted 102/118 and the 142/144/138 zones as well both in 2017. Both hunts were a ton of fun and did really well in both. I like 102/118 for sentimental reasons and enjoy hunting it a ton.

What's the government's thinking in handing so many tags out on a species that's at its very Northern Edge I don't get it

They only give out a couple of non-trophy tags, in order to keep an 'open season' on the books. If they were to eliminate all non-trophy tags, it would be very, very difficult to re-open the season again in the future - if we had a series of mild winters and the population bounced back to what it was in the 80s.
