Food Types: Wild Game

Game is any animal hunted for food or not normally domesticated. Game animals are also hunted for sport.

The type and range of animals hunted for food varies in different parts of the world.
This will be influenced by climate, animal diversity, local taste and locally accepted view about what can or cannot be legitimately hunted.

Sometimes a distinction is also made between varieties and species of a particular animal, such as wild or domestic turkey.

By Region – In some countries, game is classified, including legal classification with respect to licenses required, as either small game or large game.

Small game includes small animals such as rabbits, pheasants, mice, geese or ducks. A single small game license may cover all small game species and be subject to yearly bag limits.

Large game includes animals like deer, bear, and elk and are often subject to individual licensing where a separate license is required for each individual animal taken(tags). Big game is a term sometimes used interchangeably with large game although in other contexts it refers to large, usually African, mammals (like elephants) which are hunted mainly for trophies, not for food.
