As carrion is Wild referred to the non-violent one hunter comes (killing) to death, for example, by disease, hunger or cold. The classification of game killed in accidents with game is not completely uniform, but in general it is assigned to the case of game, unless expressly stated otherwise.

In the case of fallen game, there may be no external or internal signs of violence. Since the so-called “ addressing ” (the precise observation, assessment and identification of game before the shot is fired ) is not possible, no conclusions about possible diseases can be drawn from the behavior of the animal.

In Germany, fallen game is considered unsuitable for consumption. The placing on the market of game that has not been shot is a criminal offense. Game injured in accidents involving game, which was shot with a catch , must be subjected to an official meat inspection prior to consumption , i.e. presented to an official veterinarian , since fallen game is a health hazard.
