Officially they are called pronghorns but everyone calls them antelope. They are usually in herds and are smart enough to stay off the highways, mostly. I don't know where they go in the winter but we are seeing them close to town now. The high plains of eastern Colorado don't have good enough grass for cattle but the antelope can survive on it. Just a pic off the net. Oh, and if you want to see elk all over town go to Estes Park, CO. They're everywhere and practically tame, Except during the rut.

No, I've never hunted them but if I did, in Southeastern Colorado there is nobody, I mean NOBODY there. Seems like easy pickin's. There IS this out there in the middle of nowhere.


 
You may think I'm exaggerating about the elk in Estes Park. Promise, I'm not. If you come to Estes Park. Colorado stay in the haunted Stanely Hotel. this is where Stephen King stayed and was inspired to write his book, The Shining.

It's nice to see that they removed the mountain with the precarious boulders (in the first picture).
 
It's a POV thing.

Colorado became kind of a go-to health thing for people in the middle of the 19th century. We still have the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs.
