Game or quarry is any wild animal hunted for animal products (primarily meat), for recreation ("sporting"), or for trophies.^[1] The species of animals hunted as game varies in different parts of the world and by different local jurisdictions, though most are terrestrial mammals and birds. Fish caught non-commercially (recreational fishing) are also referred to as game fish.
