huntable
Legally allowed quarry
Huntable describes game that can be legally or practically hunted.
A species may be huntable because regulations permit it during certain seasons, or because the terrain and animal behavior make pursuit feasible: Deer are huntable on this property from October through January.
The word appears mainly in discussions of wildlife management and hunting rights.
