Small game, often (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prey

'small game often' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for prey that I've seen before include "Animal hunted by another for food" , "Hunted creature" , "Animal hunted and killed for food" , "Animal's quarry" , "Victim, quarry" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
