German term or phrase: Abschuss
A company is wanting to invite its customers along on a hunting expedition in Austria.

The word "Abschuss" comes up a lot. I get the idea that this is the target of the hunt, but I'm not sure what the most suitable word would be in English.

Examples include:

- TD sammelt die Abschusswuensche, vergleicht diese mit den Vorjahren und den zur Verfuegung stehenden Abschuessen

- Freigabe der Abschussbedarfsliste

- Info an Einlader - Der Abschuss und die Anreise zum Jagdgebiet sind vom Einlader zu bezahlen

shooting


Explanation:
Although many contemporary anti-hunting colleagues might disagree with the subject matter, this certainly refers to the shooting of game. "Abschuss" is the killing of game with a rifle shot, i.e. "shooting".
