hunting grounds
Where predators roam
Hunting grounds are areas where people hunt game.
The phrase often appears in historical contexts referring to Native American territories: The treaty guaranteed the tribe access to their traditional hunting grounds.
Figuratively, any place where someone regularly seeks what they want: The conference became her hunting grounds for new clients.
Happy hunting grounds, from supposed Native American beliefs about the afterlife, means a paradise or ideal destination.
