What really is "Big Game"?

Big game, from my education, was what need a centerfire rifle to kill effectively. So growing up in Arizona that was javelina(45 Lbs/20 kg) on up to elk. I'd put wild turkey in big game too in the US and of course moose in the northern tier state to Alaska.

In southern Africa I'd say anything from
steenbok on up. The smaller duikers and such are a gray zone in IMO.

Nugget here. A guide gave me the nickname as I looked similar to Nugent at the time. Hunting for over 50 years yet I am new to hunting in another country and its inherent game species. I plan to do archery. I have not yet ruled out the long iron as a tag-along for a stalk. I am still deciding on a short list of game. Not a marksman but better than average with powder and string.
