Hunters
Those tracking prey
Hunters is the plural of hunter—people who pursue and kill wild animals for food, sport, or population control.
The term extends to anyone seeking something persistently: bargain hunters, job hunters, bounty hunters.
Hunter-gatherer societies obtain food through hunting and foraging rather than agriculture.
The hunters returned at dusk with two deer.
