Small game refers to a category of wildlife that is typically smaller in size and often hunted for sport or food. This includes animals like rabbits, squirrels, and various birds such as quail and pheasants. Small game hunting is popular in many regions and can be done with firearms, bows, or traps. Hunting small game is often seen as a way to introduce new hunters to the sport, as it can be less challenging than hunting larger animals. It also plays a role in wildlife management, helping to maintain balanced ecosystems by controlling animal populations.
