nomadic hunter
Wandering prey-seeker
A nomadic hunter is a person who moves from place to place following game rather than settling permanently.
The term describes both a way of life—the hunting-and-gathering existence that preceded agriculture—and individuals who practice it: Nomadic hunters tracked caribou herds across the tundra.
The phrase often appears in anthropological or historical contexts discussing human subsistence patterns.
