Hunt
A hunt is an activity during which humans or animals chase some prey, such as wild or specially bred animals (traditionally targeted species are known as game), in order to catch or kill them, either for food, sale or hobby. See hunting. The word also applies collectively to a group of hunters practicing such a hunt, especially with dogs. See fox hunting. It may also, at least since circa 1200, take the form of a search for a specified target that can, unlike a hunting prey, remain unheard, as in specific compounds such as scavenger hunt or treasure hunt. Synonyms of hunt(ing) may have a similar derived meaning, e.g. photo safari.
