餌え食じき sense 1
餌食 emphasizes a victim being devoured or exploited, whereas 獲物 is the neutral term for whatever is caught or won.
戦せん利り品ひん sense 2
戦利品 specifically means spoils taken in war or from a defeated opponent, while 獲物 covers any prize gained from hunting, competition, or crime.
収しゅう穫かくN3sense 1
収穫 is the more neutral word for a yield or catch (e.g. from fishing or a day's effort), while 獲物 keeps a stronger sense of something actively hunted or seized.
猟りょうN1
獲物 is the everyday modern word for the prey or game caught, while 猟 in this sense is a less common, more literary way to refer to the same thing.

得え物もの
得物 (also read えもの) means a weapon or tool one wields, not the prey or spoils that 獲物 refers to.

匹ひきN3
For prey or game animals, 匹 is the natural counter if you are counting the animals themselves; otherwise there is no standard counter for the abstract sense of 獲物.

Compound of 獲 (capture, get) and 物 (thing). The reading えもの is a native Japanese word (yamato-kotoba) conventionally written with these kanji.
