Antelope
hunting in Canada is restricted to the southern
portions of Alberta and Saskatchewan. Although
antelope populations are very small in both these
provinces, outfitters boast relatively high success
rates. Antelope hunting is usually combined with
mule deer hunting in Alberta.
The
slender, graceful, Pronghorn Antelope has a deer-like
body weighs between 90 and 125 pounds, and stands
about 3 1/2 feet at the shoulder. It has large,
protruding eyes and a white or buff, 4-inch tail.
The upper body and outside of the legs are tan
to brown. The cheeks, lower jaw, chest, belly,
inner legs and rump are usually white. The male
has a broad, black band down the snout to a black
nose and black neck patch, together with black
horns. Not an antler, the horn is a hollow sheath
over a bony core arising from the skull directly
over the eyes. Horns are lyre-shaped, with the
female not exceeding 3 or 4 inches. Male horns
may grow to 20 inches with a short prong jutting
forward and upward halfway from the base. Unlike
any other animal, however, the Pronghorn sheds
its horn. (Source - BlueWaterBigGame.com)
