Usage notes
The term is often redundant as de Wild already means “game” on its own. However, de Jagdwild may express that the population in question is actually hunted, not just huntable in theory. (For example, deer at a park are de Wild, but not de Jagdwild.) Moreover, the compound is only used of animals, not of their meat.
