hunting party

Armed wilderness group

A hunting party is a group of people who go out together to hunt game.

The term emphasizes the social or organized nature of the activity—hunters coordinating rather than pursuing prey alone.

Hunting parties may be recreational outings among friends or organized expeditions with guides and support staff: The hunting party set out at dawn.
