hunting pack

Pursuing animal team

A hunting pack is a group of dogs bred and trained to hunt together, pursuing game by scent or sight.

The pack operates as a coordinated unit, with hounds working in concert to track and corner prey: The hunting pack picked up the fox's trail at dawn.

By extension, any group pursuing a target with collective aggression: The press descended like a hunting pack.
