game species
Legal hunting targets
Game species are animals legally hunted for sport or food—deer, pheasant, duck, wild turkey, and the like.
Wildlife management distinguishes game species from non-game species, with the former subject to hunting seasons, bag limits, and licensing requirements.
The state added wild boar to the list of game species last year.
