I saw this guy in the middle of April. he has a big head on him and a nice start for length. my guess is he will put on a couple of inches on the bottom and turn out to be a good one I'm thinking. He has the shape you want, with good bases and bigger 2nd measurements. Prongs are nice as well. good top mass.

Not sure how exactly they did in general, but I'm seeing more around the area I hunt more than last year. Saw a group of about 11, a trio of bucks, a buck with doe and two little ones, and a couple loner bucks. Saw that in one day out.

FWIW, the Bio last year said to me that the SE part of the province had a major kill off from the severe winter conditions. the further north you went the less impact the weather had in 2018 on antelope populations.

Seems odd. I live in SE Alberta and we never had any winter in 2018? Never came until Feb/19.
Seeing quite a few around. Pheasants too.

I'd hate to see what you call quite a few, cause I haven't seen the numbers that there used to be say 10 yrs ago.

True, but 10 yrs ago there was too many. Undersubscribed licenses went un purchased. Antelope were destroying alfalfa fields.
I'm seeing quite a few compared to the spring of 2011. That winter smoked the pheasants and the antelope. They've come a long way since then. Compared to '11 I'm seeing quite a few.

This guy here peaks my interest. Come October he'll be one to watch for. Sorry about the picture quality as he was off a fare distance.

I saw more than normal when I was down last week. More herded up than same time last year and not as many solo/duo bucks.

I was doing highway clean up near the Aden border crossing and there were quite a few pronghorn. 1 of them was a giant.

they shed their sheaths every year, with the new one being present/growing underneath as the old one is cast.
