Note: C. J. Blazier of Brooks, Alberta, Canada, who captured the young 

 antelope fawns for the American Bison Society, states that: "In all antelope 

 countries there is wormwood, juniper and sage. Antelope are like sheep, the*' will 

 eat most any kind of weeds. They are very fond of peppermint, smart weed and 

 wild rose bush, and around sand dunes there is lots of things they like that I 

 do not know the names of." 



Another good authority states that he has on numerous occasions, for over 

 twenty-five years, watched the antelope in the country where they lived wild, just 

 to see what its chief food was. He said: "I found that they ate a good deal of 

 sage, but that greasewood was their favorite food. They also eat a good deal of 

 just grass, and it is their chief forage where they cannot get greasewood and sage, 

 notwithstanding all that scientists have written to the contrary. They eat some 

 buck brush and other small herbage, and I am of the opinion that in different 

 localities there is a difference in their tastes. I find that this is the case with the 

 habits of animals in general. What applies in one locality, does not always 

 apply in others."
