A hunt is an activity during which humans or animals chase some prey, such as wild or specially bread animals (traditionally targeted species are known as game), in order to catch or kill them, either for food, sale, or as a form of sport. See hunting.

The word also applies collectively to a group of hunters practicing such a hunt, especially with dogs. It may also, at least since circa 1200, take the less bloodthirsty form of a search for a target that can, unlike a hunting prey, remain unheard, as in specific compounds such as scavenger hunt or treasure hunt. Synonyms of hunt(ing) may have a similar derived meaning, e.g. photo safari.
