Hmmm never shot an antelope, we hove tons of them on the ranch, its just an odd, short season up here.

I'm hoping to get into some elk over by Dillon MT next fall.

 

I had a pet wolf a few years back that loved the antelope, she would chase them all day, and pass them with a confused look on her face.. I don't think she knew how to catch 'em.. She did not have that problem with rabbits.

Antelope are the fastest mammals on the planet, I know everyone thinks the cheetah is, but they can only run that fast for a short while, antelope can do it all day long.

Coincidentally their meat is a very deep red, from the super rich blood supply, and they have a huge heart.

I don't know about that.
I used to work with a few Male mammals that could clock out and be gone in a flash

 

My neighbor has clocked them at 60 MPH, they will run alongside your truck, they are just playing.

 

lol... I know they are pretty good at dodging a .270 sometimes!

 

My dad says they are pretty good bullet dodgers too, thats why I like shooting mule deer, they just stand there and look at ya!

 

Fastest I ever got an antelope to run was 48 mph. I was on my quad, and decided to chase 'em.. Yeah, I know, kind of stupid, but they were there, I was too, and I had the means to make a lot of noise, and there was nothing for about 30 miles in any direction.. I gave up when I kept catching up to 'em.. I went and chased rabbits then. Using a quad to chase things with is not the best way to fill the freezer though.

Even 48 MPH is faster than anything out here. Except maybe a mountain lion, I'm not to sure how fast they can move, but I know they aren't slow.

 

A Cheetah moves at either 62 or 68 MPH & yes in short bursts.
