Anyone know the closest state towards the east coast that would have viable antelope hunting?
Antelope come how far east?

I assume you meant pronghorn, but antelope can usually be had in "high fence/private ranches" so I wasn't sure what you are actually looking for

Well we were actually thinking about taking a trip to the Dakotas. We might have to hold off on Africa for a few years lol
You behave!
Pronghorn is an antelope. Nothing against the Dakotas, but if you want to increase your chances, Wyoming has the largest pronghorn population. Having said that, Oklahoma has pronghorn, too, but I am not sure of their numbers, and it is probably closest to NC, that "I" know.
Pronghorn aren't actually antelope, they are their own species but like elk, turkey, buffalo and numerous other animals settlers named them after what they had back home and the name stuck.
I am not an expert or here to argue a point, but it's what ALL fish and game states that have pronghorns classify them under.
The pronghorn is so unique that it is the only member of its family, Antilocapra. Its Latin name, Antilocapra americana, means the "American goat-antelope." But the pronghorn is directly related to neither New World goats nor Old World antelopes. Instead, pronghorn antelope are native to North America and can be found nowhere else in the world.
