wild game
Forest-sourced protein
Wild game refers to animals hunted for food rather than raised domestically—deer, elk, wild boar, pheasant, duck, and similar species.
The term appears on restaurant menus and in hunting contexts: The restaurant features wild game in autumn.
Wild game meat is typically leaner and stronger-flavored than farm-raised alternatives.
