Took this at the Houston Zoo a couple years back. Was in high school then, and I thought it was absolutely hilarious.
Nobody ever refers to wild game as "bushmeat" in the States. Nobody who's not 12 years old and just got back from a field trip to the zoo at least.

Next time I'm in France I will try horse, though, always wanted to.
In the US generally the term is "game". I've had a lot of deer but have also had some elk and quail from friends who hunt. I've had rattlesnake and armadillo chili in Texas and had kangaroo in Australia but I don't know whether the Kangaroo was farm raised or hunted.
Alligator, frog legs, and whatever else was on that platter at Alligator Grill. Edit: Looking at Buck's list i've had several -- all very good.
Wow, that's quite a list! You feel like adding descriptions for those of us not as, uhh, experienced?
I work for a broadline Foodservice company... And have never used this term. As for wild game, I've had a ton. Kangaroo, pheasant, quail, elk, boar, rabbit, gator... I want to try flamingo, but I'm not sure of the legality.
Very impressive ... any favorites? And I use the term wild game, but bushmeat was on my tongue after I saw a report on th e Ebola outbreak
I wouldn't consider duck, quail, pigeon, goose, quail and frog bushmeat but I can add that to the list of things eaten. I'm curious about ostrich, I've eaten an ostrich egg but never the mama.
