Antelope live in almost every unit in the eastern two-thirds of the state and are hunted in most of them. Oregon antelope face several challenges, including limited habitat insome units, disease and predation by coyotes. In some areas agricultural interests, anxious to reduce conflicts between grazing or farming and antelope, have lobbied to keeppronghorn herds to a minimum. Drought and severe winters also impact pronghorn herds. Officials have been taking steps to solve problems, and numbers are generally up from lowsin the mid-90s. All archery, rifle and muzzleloader tags are issued by drawing.
