Game

Game is any animal that is hunted for sport or food, but the information in this section will only regard game animals that are used for food. There is some overlap between species that are hunted in the wild for food, and those that are farmed for food, but we've done our best to place those species that fall in both categories into the most applicable section. Game varies widely throughout the world based on availability and necessity. Whether trapped, or shot by gun or bow, wild game comes in a wide variety of species and sizes. There are also many methods of cooking and preservation for all of these types of animals. Many species of game have long histories with man, and have great social and cultural importance. Here we will attempt to describe the species, butchering techniques, history, and preparation of some of the most popular types of wild game from around the world.
