In Response To: Linguistic Preference (Chris Haviland)

Here's a couple of quotes from the world of literature for "back game":

“Before he reached his mother's wigwam, his arrows had brought back game for their evening meal.” Stories the Iroquois Tell Their Children

“In his hunting expeditions he cut his balls in half, and used very small charges of powder, so that he was enabled to bring back game while gradually secreting a store of ammunition.” Historic Tales, Vol. 1 (of 15) The Romance of Reality
