kashrut kosher - Can Jews eat hunted animals?


Are Jews allowed to eat hunted animals? That means the animals are dead before getting their necks cut.

Answer



Isaac was apparently not opposed to wild game. Was he not waiting for Esau to bring him some venison when Jacob came in and fooled him with mutton?


(I can't imagine how he was fooled since they taste so dissimilar)
