kill Explanation: If you're looking for a word that specifies that the animal is already dead, this might be it. I can't think of any other term that is not also used for hunted animals while they are still alive. For fishing, we have the much clearer 'catch', but unfortunately it's not used in hunting. An option is to simply use 'game' or 'quarry', and let the reader deduce from the context that the animal is, in fact, dead. |
