From Richard Archers list
( http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/CGI/wa.exe?A2=ind0101&L=paleofood&P=R1400 )
I compiled (again) that
the PUFA amount in wild game like in other wild food is
*relative* high.

Group        SFA     MUFA    PUFA       PUFA%of total fat
 Game   <pf( 8.44    8.44    4.27 )>=  20.19
 Fish   <pf( 3.81    6.17    4.22 )>=  29.72
 Nuts   <pf( 4.14    1.79    1.44 )>=  19.54
 Fruit  <pf( 0.14    0.38    0.18 )>=  25.71
 Veg    <pf( 0.27    0.24    0.68 )>=  57.14

like in
Item            SFA     MUFA    PUFA       PUFA%of total fat
moose,    <pf( 0.220   0.150  0.240)>=  39.34
antelope  <pf( 0.740   0.480  0.440)>=  26.51
boar,wild <pf( 0.990   1.300  0.480)>=  17.33

Richard provided a similar and much more complete list of percentages at
http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/CGI/wa.exe?A2=ind9905&L=paleofood&P=R4334

I destillate from this, that it would be hard to
get less than 20%  PUFA from any food item found in the wild.
Typicaly more.
May it be higher or lower in fat.

I think it should be a good idea not to decrease the PUFA amounts in our
daily diet, may it be high or low in fat.
