“Plains Game” is a generic term that refers to African game species that are not part of the Dangerous Seven (including Big Five) or the Tiny 10 antelope species. I split this very large group of animals up as Large Plains Games, and on this page as Small Plains Game. For antelope species in this group, I include anything smaller than a Nyala. For these specific antelope, the males are often referred to as “rams” and the females are referred to as “ewes”. Pigs and certain varmint animals are also included here
