How it's used
Used primarily in formal or literary contexts when referring to actual animal hunting, but it frequently appears in modern business jargon. When applied to people or abstract goals, it carries a sense of aggressive pursuit or headhunting. It is rarely used as a standalone verb in casual daily speech.
Examples
He really likes going to the countryside to hunt.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 獵奇, which refers to seeking out the bizarre or grotesque rather than hunting for a specific target.
