large game

Big-game hunting is the hunting of large game. The term is historically associated with the hunting of Africa’s Big Five game (lion, the African elephant, the Cape Buffalo, the leopard and the white rhinoceros), and with tigers and rhinos on the Indian subcontinent. Most of these species are protected now, but other species such as kudu, antelope, hartebeest, moose, elk, and deer are still hunted. Big-game hunting occurs in places such as Argentina, New Zealand, Canada, many parts of the USA, and in many parts of Africa. In North America, animals such as bears, moose and bison are hunted.
