hunting ritual
Prey pursuit tradition
A hunting ritual is a ceremonial practice performed before, during, or after a hunt—prayers for success, offerings to animal spirits, or traditions honoring the kill.
The term extends to any habitual sequence a hunter follows: His hunting ritual included coffee at 4 AM and checking his gear three times.
Figuratively, it describes methodical approaches to pursuing any goal.
