To quote from " BIG GAME OF NORTH AMERICA" (A Wildlife Management Institute Book)

" Pronghorn belong to the family Antilocapridae, indigenous only to North America"

" Early records often referred to the pronghorn as " antelope" a trem handed down through generations, resulting in its common use today. Therefore, the use of " antelope" is acceptable, but pronghorn is the accurate common name for the species.

And....
Mountain goats are " rupicaprines" or goat antelopes. They are related closely to the chamois of Europe but not to any species in North America. Some recent articles incorrectly claim that the mountain goat is a close relative of the pronghorn.

I just like to call things by their accepted names so as to avoid confusion. If a friend told me we were going " goat" hunting and I should bring the decoy, I would want to be sure I brought the right one.
