		These crate conditioned bongos had much lower cortisol levels than those reported in the literature for restained deer or cattle (values for manually restrained and deer darted with ketamine, 45.3 ng/ml and 55.6 ng/ml, respectively; domestic cattle restrained in squeeze chutes, 25 to 63 ng/ml).
		The cortisol levels in crate conditioned bongo were at almost the baseline reported for cattle (2 to 9 ng/ml) and bighorn sheep (5 ng/ml).
		Antelope are sensitive to small changes in their surroundings; therefore, each change in the procedure must be done slowly.
