Noun

Jagdwild n (strong, genitive Jagdwilds or Jagdwildes, no plural)

  1. game (huntable animals collectively)

Usage notes

  • The term is often redundant as Wild already means “game” on its own. However, Jagdwild may express that the population in question is actually hunted, not just huntable in theory. (For example, deer at a park are Wild, but not Jagdwild.) Moreover, the compound is only used of animals, not of their meat.
