The animal has been shot legally.

was killed within legal parameters?
was killed by a hunter?
I'm not sure what exactly you're looking for

the game was hunted properly
bin aber D.

... the usual suspects :-))
Hi!

To be honest - I think this is just a typically complex German phrase, meaning "shot by hunters" or "shot legally by hunters".

Hi judex, nooo. You can also poach properly when you are a good shot. I think the hunting license is in play here.

Helmi: what I find confusing is the juxtapositioning of the huter and the vehicle (as in road kill). That's a bit odd.

Hi Helmi , es geht IMO darum ob es geschossen wurde oder ein road-kill ist, was für den Preis des Wildbrets wichtig ist. Hier, in D, ist ein großer Teil des verkauften Wildbrets road-kill, das "regulär" geschossene Wild behalten die Jäger und verkaufen es an Bekannte. Wilderei ist (bis jetzt) nicht im Spiel.

Aha, now we know. But then the road-kill venison dishes in those fancy restaurants aren't so much recommended, right??

Perfectly right!!!
And they tell you it has to have haut-gout (which ist NOT true!)

Solution: Those restaurant-owners should have the roads checked more freqently!

(about 3-times per day in summer and about 2-times per day in winter?) . . . ;-))

Auto-Corr.: 'frequently' . . .
