Small game hunting involves pursuing smaller animals, typically for sport or food. Common targets include rabbits, squirrels, and birds like quail or pheasants. This type of hunting often requires less equipment and can be done in various environments, such as forests, fields, and wetlands. Hunters usually use shotguns or small-caliber rifles, and they must follow local regulations regarding seasons and bag limits. Small game hunting can be a way to connect with nature, develop skills, and promote wildlife management by controlling animal populations in certain areas.
