The hunting law divides game in Germany into high and low game, among other categories. These terms have historical origins. The high game refers to the respective species of game that were particularly valued for hunting and were therefore reserved for the high nobility (High Hunting). In contrast, the hunting of low game could also be practiced by representatives of other estates (lower nobility, upper bourgeoisie, etc.).
Today, high game includes all hoofed game except for roe deer. Additionally, capercaillie, golden eagle, and white-tailed eagle are considered high game. All other game is classified as low game.
