Maybe somebody which really knows english should make a statement, but
until then, my opinion.

I know (at least thought I know) what 'game' means - it is generic name
for animals you can hunt. This surely includes all deers, elks, mooses
etc - I'm not sure what with racoons/birds etc.

There is also a expression 'big game' (tied to animals, not rulette).

So I think word 'game' would be generally perfect for this resource,
except problem with translation.
