game animals
Prey for hunters
Game animals are wild creatures hunted for sport or food.
The category includes deer, elk, wild boar, pheasant, duck, and rabbit, among others.
Game laws regulate which species may be hunted, when, and by whom.
The meat from such animals is called game: We had game for dinner.
What qualifies as game varies by region and legal jurisdiction.
