Looking for some background.
After the killing winter of 2010, pronghorn allocations were reduced, but perhaps not for outfitters? I’m looking for an experienced pronghorn hunter to talk to about those changes, and I’d love to speak to an outfitter as well.
On or off the record works. General comments on the pronghorn hunt and population rebound welcome.
Message me! Better yet, email me directly at sherimonk@gmail.com
This is for an article in Alberta Outdoorsman Magazine.

Winter of 2017/18 was hard on them
Lots of snow at the end of the year
Pronghorn management in the province is terrible
Even after the die off they never adjusted tags
I’m not sure who these biologists are trying to fool. I doubt many leave the office
The govt needs to decide what is more important, protecting and sustainability for all animals or satisfying certain special interest groups that aren’t regulated

What are the special interest groups that aren't regulated?

I’m pretty sure they did adjust tags. For example I noticed they only gave out 50 tags in 102/118 last year.

That was only for the archery tags, which was an increase from 38 the year before.
When I look at the draw summaries on ABRelm it shows for 102/118 trophy antelope: 2017-262 tags, 2018-250 tags.
They did cut the nontrophy tags in half though, from 20 in 2017 to 10 in 2018.

Your right Dave, I was looking at the wrong summary!
This is some real old dirty underwear to pick up.
Sure you want to touch it?
There are some old threads on the topic that provide a bit of bleach.
Myself and Deer Hunter have most of the data from that time.

They are the same bios that dont have clue about mule deer numbers in these same zones ...big die off in winter of 17/18 like you said , but they doubled the tags given out...I talked with that same bio 2 weeks ago about it and he says same number of tags will be given out this year . I thi k he needs to get out of the office and do some counting .
